I am not the OP, however I installed OO-2.0.3 today on dapper.

What I did:
-remove anything with "openoffice" in it's name from the
installed packages.
-download 2.0.3 as deb.-packages from openoffice.org
-install the new packages with dpkg -i *.deb
-use OpenOffice 2.0.3 after adjusting my desktop icons to
reflect the newly installed version.

It was really as easy as this.
