It doesn't have to go there, does it?

I think that the magic word is soffice. Find out where the main soffice is
in the install dir. Move install dir to wherever you want it and symlink
soffice in /usr/local/bin to the soffice in the office dir.

I heard that staroffice is old, and star office charges. Why not get open
office:

www.openoffice.org

for the apt-getter out there:

deb http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/openoffice ./
deb-src http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/openoffice ./
deb http://www.mx1.ru/~chris/openoffice unstable main contrib
deb-src http://www.mx1.ru/~chris/openoffice unstable main contrib
