Yes feel free to ignore it if you are such a debian fanboy that the
thought of trying some other distirbution is anathema to you.

Unfortunately backports and etch are both less reliable than just
using a stable release of Ubuntu; backports are not official debian
packages and use of them can and does cause problems. I say this as
someone who uses debian extensively and uses backports when I have
to. OOo is a big package and is something I would think long and
hard before installing from backports. Personally I prefer to just
use Ubuntu on my laptop.
Yes I am aware that we have had this thread recently and you are
happy using Debian stable everywhere and need no more and tried
Ubuntu and didn't like it etc etc. However you are not every user
and I would suggest that the average user when confronted with
neeing to use a more up to date version of a large package like OOo
would be foolish to not at least consider giving Ubuntu a try.
Cheers,
Andy
