libreoffice is not a package that has been identified as having a
microrelease exception according to
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#New_upstream_microreleases>.
And the Test case listed here seems rather aspirational - "bugs fixed
upstream hopefully come with unit/regression tests". Please speak
directly to how this update meets the standard for microrelease updates.
Also, it would help in terms of the justification of an SRU to have
clarity around what the bugs are that are worth fixing. The only one
that I see referenced is LP: #1869561 - do you beileve this bug in
particular justifies taking the new upstream version?

Title:
[SRU] libreoffice 6.4.4 for focal
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in libreoffice source package in Focal:
Incomplete
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.
