So what has happened to
OpenOffice.org? Who has decided that we've all got to use LibreOffice?

Pretty much, Oracle did, when they bought Sun Microsystems and left OpenOffice to languish with no support. LibreOffice is a fork that is actually being developed under the GPL.

Of course, you are welcome to install the OOO that is, I believe, still available in squeeze.
