The OpenOffice 1.0.2 port for Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 is incompatible with newer versions of libfreetype6.
You receive usual error messages like this (below) on Debian 3.0 systems with installed GNOME 2.2 backport or KDE 3.1:
The workaround is quite simple. You need to add the sarge instead of woody port to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/ sarge main contrib
Then run apt-get update and apt-get install openoffice.org to install OpenOffice.

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
openoffice.org-bin: Depends: libfreetype6 (< 2.1.0) but 2.1.3-9woody1 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
