I use LMDE 64bit, though I was using the 32 bit until the 64 became
available; and it's basically a new 'flavor' of Mint, as the main Mint
is still based on Ubuntu. I'm afraid I can't help with the language
packs issue however, since I'm using en_us.  And LMDE uses the Debian
testing repo's, and as I understand it LO is available in the
experimental repos (is that sid or ??). I installed from the deb's and
unpacked into the /opt directory and used the dpkg commands.

There is a LMDE (Linux Mint Debian) section on the linux mint forums,
though the forums have had some issues of being bogged down, it's been
mostly available during the last couple of weeks or so. Look under
'Editions' at http://forums.linuxmint.com/  I  haven't seen any threads
about LO, but that doesn't mean you can't start one!
