This will be done for backports with OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 to be released on Dec 2. OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 is a bugfix only release and should prove to be much more stable than the current release. Many problems don't show up until after the official release as was seen with 2.4.0 in Hardy.

Unfortunately as Colin already mentioned openoffice.org versioned package support (eg openoffice.org3-foo) has bitrotted and doesn't work anymore. I tried resurrecting it but kept running into one problem after another and finally after consultation with the Debian maintainer came to the conclusion that it was unsupportable.

Feel free to use the packages in the PPA and report bugs using the Help->Report a bug feature so that it is easier to track which bugs pertain to 3.0.

Thanks!
