You can deploy a extension with the configuration data. See
openoffice.org-ctl-he for an example.

Otherwise: yes, OOo seems to have the ability to have a second layer in
/etc overriding what's in /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry (and maybe
config/, too) but last I tried it it crashed when using this, so I never
implemented it for the packages.
