You should ask on the Debian oo.o list. Perhaps there is a need for
more Debian packagers for Sparc oo.o.
Going one step upstream, Jim Watson's .tar.bz2 multi-RPM packages are
quite usable with Debian (at least as single-user installs). These are
available from Openoffice.org mirrors, in the contrib/linuxsparc
directory. Jim is up to 2.0.2. You also need to find install_linux.sh
for oo.o. Maybe the one here will work:
http://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/developer/install_scripts/
For future reference, Jim's port wiki page is:
