So, what am I doing wrong/how do I get OOo 3 installed?
I am quoting from Backports.org instructions, try if it works for you.

3. All backports are deactivated by default (i.e. the packages are
pinned to 1 by using |NotAutomatic: yes| in the Release files, just as
in experimental). If you want to install something from backports run:
*apt-get -t lenny-backports install /“package”/*
Of course, you can use *aptitude* as well:
* aptitude -t lenny-backports install /“package”/*
*/[end_quote]/*
For me, I have set backports with the highest priorities, so anything at
backports.org <http://backports.org> with a higher version number will
be automatically installed.
Good luck.
Thanks for that, Zahn, it (aptitude) worked perfectly. What a pity
Synaptic is not that capable. Ah well...
Personally I am quite happy with running Lenny, with updates, on my
server - therefore also on a number of LTSP workstations. Occasionally,
in cases such as this, I resort to backports, but certainly wouldn't
want to be automatically selecting the backport.
I run Kubuntu on my laptop, though...
