Public bug reported:

[Impact]

* LibreOffice 6.4.7.2.M1 is a bug-fix release of the 6.4 line:
    It receives important bug-fixes on top of the 6.4 branch which is EOL since 
November 30, 2020. Currently maintained by Andras Timar for France's MIMO 
(https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2013/06/17/the-document-foundation-welcomes-frances-mimo-in-the-advisory-board/)

* Version 6.4.7 is currently released in focal. 
    https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?h=distro/mimo/mimo-6-4
    (that's a total of ?? 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.

[Testing]

* Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were 
run and verified as passing.

    * [amd64] ...
    * [arm64] ...
    * [armhf] ...
    * [ppc64el] ...
    * [s390x] ...

* General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite were
carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice

[Regression Potential]

* A minor release with a total of ?? bug fixes always carries the
potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bug-fix-only
release, 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.
