Sorry for the duplicate; I forgot to check the bug-tracking system.
No need to get upset. I'm just one end-user who didn't check the
bug-list; considering the demand for OpenOffice and how many people are
likely using it, it seems inevitable that you will be inundated with such
annoyances.
Thanks again to fixing the problem.

God damnit. This bug already was reported *3* times before you
filed it.
(#356984, #357024, #357067).
You don't need to file it again. Please check whether a bug is reported
already before filing it. Thanks.
My system did not have this binary installed. Not knowing the intricacies
of Debian-ified Java and Openoffice.org, I couldn't have guessed what the
exact problem was. Looking at the contents of the directory it was
looking in, I was able to find (dpkg -L) the package 'java-gcj-compat'.
Searching for related packages, I found another package called
'java-gcj-compat-dev'. On a guess, I "aptitude install
java-gcj-compat-dev", the above missing binary was symlinked to, and
'openoffice.org-gcj' configured itself sucessfully. The install of
'java-gcj-compat-dev' triggered a set of other packages to install:
antlr ecj-bootstrap ecj-bootstrap-gcj gjdoc
Any of these could have created the symlink.
None did. java-gcj-compat-dev contains it.
I think the dependency for "openoffice.org-gcj" needs to be updated to
ensure whatever package created this symlink. Alternatively, perhaps a
package that you do depend on *did not* create the symlink as it was
supposed to. Either way, it was a problem for me.
2.0.2-2 will use the gij symlink, which *is* i java.gcj-compat-dev.
And iff you would actually have read the bug reports already filed you
would have found that out because I exactly wrote that
(java-gcj-compat-dev / gij) in #356984...
Regards,
Rene
