That's not what 'stable' means (well... not exactly).
See:
http://www.debian.org/releases/

OpenOffice 2.0.3 is new.. thus only in the development side
of Debian.. which is called 'unstable'.

Now.. .if it finds its way into 'testing'... that's a
different story! (is it in 'testing'?... if so.. that's
a good thing).
