I don't know which mirrors you have tried, but I recently found one
that works with Debian testing...
http://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/mirror/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/
- or put this in your sources.list -
deb http://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/mirror/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/
testing main contrib
I was then able to install OpenOffice for the first time in months and
months and months.
