If everything you want is having the malay myspell dict available, just
install it and let openoffice know about it, rebuilding openoffice for just
this seems to me a huge overkill. I however suggest that instead of just
dropping the apropriate files where needed, better prepare a myspell-ms
package following the Debian policy for myspell dicts,

  http://dict-common.alioth.debian.org/dsdt-policy.html

so if everything is fine could be considered for Debian.
