You did fine (w/RPM's & DEBs)... almost. In order to install the
debian-menus from OOo you first need to uninstall Ubuntu's OOo. See:

http://www.8daysaweek.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=759

for instructions.

Before you do that however, you might first try checking to see if the
installed version runs ok: /opt/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice

If it does, then you can choose to install paths in your application
menus my hand (right-click Applications|Edit Menus|Office|Add), or
install debian-menus. Personally I just uninstall ubuntu-desktop *
(U)OOo and go with debian-menus & OOo 2.3 and that way all symlinks are
set up correctly.

However, be aware that before you upgrade to Gutsy you'll need to
reinstall ubuntu-desktop for the upgrade - you can remove it again
afterwards if you wish. Note: 'ubuntu-desktop' is a meta package &
doesn't remove the Gnome desktop etc.
