Bug description:
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 5.4.4 is the fourth bugfix release of the still 5.4 line.
Version 5.4.2 is currently in 17.10.
For a list of fixed bugs compared to 5.4.2 see the list of bugs fixed in
the RC1 and RC2 for 5.4.3 and the RC1 and RC2 for 5.4.4:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.3/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.3/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.4/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.4/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs
* Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and
the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU
a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes.
* Libreoffice 5.4.4 (RC2, which is effectively the final release) has
been available for users to test since 2017-12-24 in the official
"LibreOffice Fresh" PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages),
and it is in bionic-proposed since 2018-01-26.
[Test Case]
* No specific test case, bugs fixed upstream hopefully come with
unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised
upstream (both in an automated manner and manually) by a community of
testers. Each minor release went through 2 release candidates.
* The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests, those should be run
and verified to pass.
* General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite
should be carried out.
[Regression Potential]
* Two new minor releases with a total of 134 bug fixes always carry
the potential for introducing regressions, even though they are
bugfix-only releases, meaning that no new features were added, and no
existing features were removed.
* A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as
described above should provide reasonable confidence that no
regressions sneaked in.
