The "plain" OOo packages do not contain dictionaries. They are
in seperate packages. Do you actually have a dictionary installed?

$ apt-cache search --names-only myspell
libmyspell-dev - MySpell spellchecking library development files
libmyspell3 - MySpell spellchecking library
myspell-bg - The Bulgarian dictionary for myspell
myspell-ca - Catalan dictionary for myspell
myspell-de-at - Austrian (German) dictionary for myspell
myspell-de-ch - Swiss (German) dictionary for myspell
myspell-de-de - German dictionary for myspell
myspell-en-gb - English (GB) dictionary for myspell
myspell-en-us - English (US) dictionary for myspell
myspell-es - The Spanish dictionary for myspell
myspell-ga - An Irish (Gaeilge) dictionary for OpenOffice and Mozilla
myspell-gd - Scots Gaelic dictionary for myspell
myspell-gl-es - The Galician dictionary for myspell
myspell-gv - Manx Gaelic dictionary for myspell
myspell-hu - The Hungarian dictionary for myspell
myspell-it - Italian dictionary for myspell
myspell-lt - Lithuanian (LT) dictionary for myspell
myspell-lv - Latvian MySpell dictionary
myspell-pt-br - The Brazilian Portuguese dictionary for myspell
myspell-fr-gut - The French dictionary for myspell (GUTenberg version)

The myspell-* packages are the dictionaries (the -fr-* are not yet
in Debian but will soon)
