Hi.. it gets a little messier than that; not only have a couple of libraries 
disappeared, but a whole heap have moved from /usr/lib to /usr/lib/kde2.

I would recommend getting everything from koffice/debian from the CVS and 
putting it in your own debian/ before building the packages; the CVS debian 
files are currently aimed at building beta1 packages, whereas the ones you 
have are still aimed at the 04-04-2001 snapshot.  See
http://www.kde.org/anoncvs.html
for instructions on how to do this; the only module you will need is koffice. 
 In fact you won't even need that; just:
cvs co koffice/debian

If you run unstable debian you should actually be able to just download the 
latest koffice packages from ftp.debian.org now; the beta1 packages are now 
available.  If you run stable debian, you will find a new set of problems in 
building the packages (since the files in debian/ require v3 of debhelper, 
and stable/potato only has v2); hopefully some stable/potato packages will be 
up on kde.debian.net before too long.

Ben.
