Title:
  [SRU] libreoffice 6.4.4 for focal

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in libreoffice source package in Focal:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * LibreOffice 6.4.4 is in its fourth bugfix release of the 6.4 line. Version 
6.4.4 is currently in focal.
     For a list of fixed bugs compared to 6.4.3 see the list of bugs fixed in 
the two release candidates:
       https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.4.4/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
       https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.4.4/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs
     (that's a total of 98 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.

  [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 normally goes through two 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]

   * A minor release with a total of 98 bug fixes always carries the
  potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bugfix-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.
