I don't understand. Did you mean it doesn't upgrade openoffice, not
that it does?

You can find out which version of the packages is in which distribution
by going to http://packages.debian.org/<packagename>, i.e.
http://packages.debian.org/openoffice.org
-6 is in unstable.

Yes, it will take a while for -6 to reach testing because we don't have
a machine available at the moment to build for the sparc architecture.
You could temporarily add unstable to your sources.list. But first set
your default release to testing so that no other packages get upgraded
to unstable versions. Create a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/default-release
containing the line:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
Then add a line in your sources.list for unstable main:
deb http://ftp.debian.org[or whatever your mirror is]/debian main unstable
Run 'apt-get update' and then
apt-get -t unstable install openoffice.org
That should hopefully upgrade just openoffice.org and the dependencies
it needs.
