I can't help you, but I can say that it works fine for me. 

% apt-showversions|grep openoffice
openoffice.org-bin/unstable uptodate 1.0.2-1
openoffice.org-l10n-en/unstable uptodate 1.0.2-1
openoffice.org/unstable uptodate 1.0.2-1
openoffice.org-debian-files/unstable uptodate 1.0.2-1+1

% apt-show-versions |grep xfree
xserver-xfree86/testing uptodate 4.2.1-3
xfree86-common/testing uptodate 4.2.1-3

At this point, I'm running a mostly "unstable" system, but with some
"testing" mixed in, as you can see.
