OpenOffice 2.0 can however be installed on sarge directly from the 
original openoffice.org  distribution, i.e,  download 
OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz; gunzip/tar to a file and run alien 
-i from the RPMS subdirectory.  You can also install the menu links from 
the included deb file: openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.0.0-3_all.deb
