Well Debian has 2.2.1 in unstable and 2.3.0~oog680m1 in experimental.
They also tend to be good at picking up fixes for OOo, including many
they have come up with themselves.  (I believe debian was the first to
really have OOo working properly for multiple users with a single
installation without having to run the setup program for each user.)
