Could it somehow be related with apt-get priority system? (since
experimental has a lower priority than unstable).
maybe... I am not familiar with that so much...

what happens if you call 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ? is openoffice.org in the
list of stuff that will be upgraded? or, do you need to add a '-t
experimental' option?

With a simple "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "aptitude full-upgrade" it
won't install the new openoffice.org packages. It's needed to add "-t
experimental" on both to get the new version.

Also, may you try with the new 'cupt'  (that uses debdelta if available)
what does it do?

It also doesn't upgrade openoffice.org (with "cupt full-upgrade" or
"cupt dist-upgrade").
Like the others, it's necessary the "-t experimental" too.
(I wasn't unable to test if it was going to download the deltas, when
using -t experimental, since I hit bug #568515)

When reporting bugs (with reportbug), I see this:

  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental')

I've read the apt_preferences manpage but I don't where experimental
is set (per default) to a lower priority.

Please write this 3 lines inside /etc/apt/preferences

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 100

and then try once again.
(AFAICT this will not upgrade all your packages to experimental;
 but if a package was installed from experimental, it should upgrade it)
