Hi, as stated in my previous comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/93002/comments/4, the problem got resolved for Debian.
I think the following changelog entry is relevant:

openoffice.org (2.2.0-5) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
    - make classes a normal dir again (and add symlinks in it) instead of it
      being a symlink itself since it breaks the UNO bootstrap mechanism
      some stuff (including extensions) seem to rely on...
[...]

In Debian, /usr/lib/openoffice/program/classes is a directory containing symlinks to /usr/share/java/openoffice/, whereas in Ubuntu Feisty /usr/lib/openoffice/program/classes is _itself_ a symlink to /usr/share/java/openoffice/, which seems to break the document conversion wizard and other wizards as well.
