I just downloaded the rpm version - converted to deb with alien and
installed with dpkg


digging through .bash_history (removing missteps) etc:

cd OOO680_m3_native_packed-2_en-US.8968/RPMS/
fakeroot alien --to-deb *rpm
su
dpkg -i *deb
dpkg -i desktop-integration/*deb

worked like a charm - I have both 1.13 and 2.0 :-)
