No, this is doing a lot more than providing KDE compatibility. Removing
it will cripple openoffice.
Are you running Sarge? OOo2 has been backported:
http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/
Note that the official openoffice.org-core packages (in Etch and Sid)
do not depend on kdelibs4; I expect that the same will be true of the
backported package.
