Not that I am aware of, but an OOoLite has often been discussed on 
discuss-aZa+b1S/[email protected]

OpenOffice.org will have native installers from 2.0 on, hopefully 
including .debs. Chris reported that he has succeeded with one of the 
developer builds (m56) on [email protected], see: 
http://installation.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=dev&by=thread&from=511810.

Most of the activity occurs on http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/

We are always looking out for QA, bug squashers and feedback.

All the best
