The plot thickens. I solved it in the end by adding:
deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/freetype/i386/ ./
deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/fontconfig/i386/ ./
Turned out to be a problem with openoffice:
brain:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get install openoffice.org-bin
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org-bin: Depends: libfreetype6 (< 2.1.0) but 2.1.3-7 is to
be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
brain:/var/cache/apt/archives#
I need the later libfreetype6. I'll have to have a word with the
openoffice.org maintainers and see if there's a workaround.
