Standard .desktop files need to be placed in /usr/share/applications,
but now openoffice.org package doesn't provides standard .desktop files
in the standard location, this is a bug.
As a workaround You may put attached files:
openoffice-calc.desktop
openoffice-draw.desktop
openoffice-impress.desktop
openoffice-math.desktop
openoffice-writer.desktop
to /usr/share/applications and run update-desktop-database as root.
