Please see
http://www.linux-debian.de/openoffice/mirrors.html
for a list of lines for sources.list, so you can use apt-get.

There are two sources available - a slower, known not to introduce any new
bugs version ('testing', currently at 1.0.0-6), and one where we upload to
initially ('unstable', currently at 1.0.1-3 for binaries and -1 for language
packs).

The packages are compiled on an unstable system, so you need a newer version
of libgcc1 than in Woody, which is also available on our mirrors and will be
automatically installed unless you are using certain pinning configurations.
I plan to make packages compiled on a Woody system at some time in the
future.
We have disabled Java support currently because of the use of non-free Java APIs.
