Ah, that is good.

Well, declaring a dependency is a drastic solution and only the 'last
resort' if all else fails. It means that everyone has to download and
install the extra package because of a problem that a few people have.
I've actully managed to reproduce the problem here with the -ru langpack. I
also found that OOo runs if I set LANG=ru_RU. Your original bugreport
suggests that you are using LANG=C. So does this work?
$ sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-l10n-en
$ LANG=ru_RU openoffice
