My openoffice.org-l10n-en also wasn't upgraded by apt. I think this is because the earlier version "provides" the alternative package openoffice.org-l10n-1.1.0::
~$ dpkg -s openoffice.org-l10n-en ... Version: 1.0.99+1.1rc3-1 ... Provides: openoffice.org-l10n-1.1.0, openoffice.org1.1-l10n-en ... ~$ dpkg -s openoffice.org ... Version: 1.1.0-1 ... Depends: openoffice.org-debian-files (>> 1.1.0), openoffice.org-bin (>> 1.1.0), openoffice.org-l10n-en (>> 1.1.0) | openoffice.org-l10n-1.1.0, dictionaries-common (>= 0.10) | openoffice.org-updatedicts So even though I don't have openoffice.org-l10n-en (>> 1.1.0) installed, apt was quite happy because I have something which provides openoffice.org-l10n-1.1.0.
