Looking more closely at this, the only non-or'ed dep I see here is on openoffice.org-l10n-common. -l10n-common has no dependencies at all on the rest of OOo. And running 'apt-get install language-support-translations-de' in a hardy chroot doesn't try to pull in OOo, though it does pull in OOo-l10n-de and OOo-help-de. Is it possible this issue is fixed?
$ apt-cache show openoffice. org-l10n- de|grep Depends org-common (>= 1:2.4.1) | language- support- translations- de, openoffice. org-common (<< 1:2.4.1.1) | language- support- translations- de, openoffice. org-l10n- common (>= 1:2.4.1)
Depends: openoffice.
