How did you install Sun Java? If you didn't, then I'd suggest you try using 
Debian's java-package tool like this:

# apt-get install java-package fakeroot
$ fakeroot make-jpkg name-of-downloaded-java-binary.bin
# dpkg -i name-of-created-package.deb

(note that the middle step has to be done as a non-root user; and that 
java-package is in contrib)

This may put the JRE in a location where OOo can find it.

Cheers,
Richard
