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.
