I can save you the trouble. They won't do it because of conflicts with
other parts of woody. Adrian Bunk has an openoffice.org that will work
with later freetype and fontconfig-- however these later freetype and
fontconfig packages will conflict with gnome2.2 backport.
All is not lost-- perhaps there is another xfree86 4.3 that doesn't need
the later fontconfig and freetype.
