Or wait for a backport...

Yes. Or you build with Sun/Blackdown java which I do for the backport because
I don't want to backport gcc4. The Packaging stuff isn't yet backport-ready,
though, I am just working on that.

No. It can be with openoffice.org2 but that's beta2 and it is unmaintained
now.
As the package names are the same and 2.0.0 got uploaded as just a new version
of "openoffice.org" (without the 2) it will overwrite 1.1.3.
(The official sarge backport will too...)

Yes. As they are built with gcj it should work.
