Works for me. However I also have it installed in:
~$ locate DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
/home/<user>/.openoffice.org2/user/fonts/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
/home/<user>/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
/var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
If you'd like I can remove from /home/<user>/.openoffice... and
/home/<user>/fonts/... to see if it's still picked up by OOo.
In OOo I'm also showing:
ExtralLight
Book
Condensed
Condensed Oblique
Oblique
Bold
Condensed Bold
Bold Oblique
Condensed Bold Oblique

Have you updated your font cache lately? You might try:
sudo fc-cache -f -v
to update all of your font cache.
