That sounds like you intend to upload this to a server, where others
can download it?
I was thinking about rebuilding my OOo Version on my
woody-gnome2.2-freetype6 system as well and would like to spare
the time which is needed for the compilation...

I haven't done any 'official' backports yet, but there were good
instructions from Adrian Bunk: decrease the last number by one and
add a string and your own version number:
1.0.2-2 -> 1.0.2-1.freetype.1
That way it is replaced by the official one from unstable, if
you upgrade to sid and the version number is (I hope, haven't
tested) higher than 1.0.2-1.
