I just had a problem with openoffice2, solved it, and in the process, realized that there seems to be a bug in the ubuntu versions of this package.
Basically I couldn't open anymore a certain file, because Ooo would systematically segfault on loading it. This happened with version 1.9x (which ships with Breezy) but also with the 2.0.0 version from http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2/ (http://people.ubuntu.com/%7Edoko/OOo2/) (which is supposed to be a release candidate ?). However, RPMs from the openoffice site worked perfectly once alienised.
So in the end, I solved my problem but I wonder if and how I should report a bug on the ubuntu packages ? My main concern is that the testing version seems as buggy, in this respect, as the "stable" one and it would be a pity if it was relased without the necessary corrections.
