Openoffice offers a package for Debian that contains all the necessary debs.
You can get it by making your choice here:

http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US

I've installed Openoffice3 using this package (after uninstalling the default Openoffice packages on my lenny system), and everything seems to be working fine.
