I'm not sure if there is one, but I downloaded the monster-sized 
file from Sun's site (http://www.sun.com) and installed it. Just 
install it as root with the /net (something like that) option and 
place it under a suitable location like /usr/local/ and you should 
be fine. Then each user needs to run its setup program to place 
some files in their home directory.

I'm running an up-to-date potato install, but staroffice worked 
fine right off the bat if I recall correctly. Maybe I was lucky?

Are you looking for some sort of task oriented package that will 
install all required libs and stuff so the install goes off without 
any problems, or are you actually looking for a 100 meg .deb 
package containing the whole thing? I'm not sure of the latter's 
existance, but I've been wrong before!

HTH,
