Hrm. What I use is bzr+ssh://rene@bzr.debian.org/srv/bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-openoffice/packages/openofficeorg/3.0.1/unstable, but that of course is not
suitable for the Vcs-Field...
But: Besides that it should be s/experimental/unstable/, this works for me:
rene@mini:~$ bzr co http://bzr.debian.org/pkg-openoffice/packages/openofficeorg/3.0.1/experimental/
rene@mini:~$
rene@mini:~$ ls -la experimental/* | head -n 4

This is not exactly true. debian/ is useless without the ooo-build
checkout. This will be fixed when we ever switch back to vanilla OOo and thus
will have all our patches in debian/patches, but until that we need
debian/ AND ooo-build, and those are in different repos...
Of course we could mirror ooo-build in bzr with bzr-svn but then you still
have a technical problem: ooo-build needs to be in the toplevel as the tarballs
to be unpacked (which is the vanilla source) is in ooo-build/src. You
can't do that with one co...

Indeed, but I don't see a short-term solution for this (except switching
to vanilla).
