Assuming you are running Debian stable (Sarge), you can find instructions how 
to use backports.org here:

http://www.backports.org/instructions.html

Add this line

deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main

to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and these lines

Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 200

to your /etc/apt/preferences.

Then, to install the complete openoffice.org you would need to do the 
following:

apt-get -t sarge-backports install openoffice.org

This method will not require you to update your kernel.
