Nah. I guess you would not have found unless you knew these documents
existed; They are not manuals.
These links will show how a free version of OpenOffice.org (not
openoffice) has been implemented by Debian.
OO.o is in `main' section of debian; a program cannot be in Debian's
`main' archive unless the program, all libraries required by it, build
scripts, and the compiler/interpreter required to compile/run the
program are fully free.

This freedom fanaticism is one of the reasons why Debian is often
referred to as distros' distro. Several distros like knoppix, morphix,
Ubuntu, etc. are based on Debian. And precisely why people like me
use Debian.
