Debian lags quite a bit (from few months to years).  It is difficult to
say what version they are packaging.

The best and easiest way to install latest Org would be to via GNU ELPA
or Org ELPA.  See http://orgmode.org/elpa.html.

    M-x list-packages

Once you insall the package, restart Emacs and do

    M-x customize-variable org-export-backends

and enable ODT.

ps: If you are new to Emacs/Org, you will have less troubles if you
start with an empty .emacs (or more specifically a .emacs that doesn't
have any Org specific configuration.)
