Yes, it is possible. The problem is that we do not have enough manpower
to work on this. Future versions of upstream OOo are likely to be
easier to do the switching by including some sort of themeing support,
so it doesn't make a lot of sense for us to spend time on themeing just
for the Debian packages when it will be done in a more general way in
future versions.

There are also lots of people comming from Windows who manage perfectly
well with the new look.

It depends whether you are able to make changes to packaging. You would
need to remove the parts of debian/rules that replace the original icons
with the Ximian version.
Sorry,
