I always have a hard time to review libreoffice SRUs that come with a new upstream version. It can take a whole afternoon.
I'll try to outline here what I do, and perhaps I can be given a suggestion on how to improve it, or take a different approach. a) debian/watch It doesn't work. So I have to manually download the upstream detached signatures, and verify them against the orig tarballs. Which also doesn't always work, due to repacking. So I also download the upstream tarball one more time, verify its signatures, then compare the upstream tarball with the orig one. b) multiple orig tarballs I have to repeat (a) for each of the additional tarballs, namely helpcontent2 and translations. c) The tarballs tarball This is a collection of tarballs that the upstream buildsystem downloads at build time, something we must not do in our builders. Here I extract the tarballs tarball, see which ones were updated from the previous version, and I find a way to verify that they match upstream. Sometimes each respective upstream project published a detached signature, so I can use that to verify. If not, I download from upstream again to compare with what is in the tarballs tarball. And, depending on the size of the diff, I actually review the diff of that upstream tarball. If it's too large, I resort to just checking the upstream release notes. I do all of that for each tarball that got updated in this tarballs tarball. d) yaru As I'm writing this, I don't remember how I used to check it, as I haven't gotten that far in the review yet.
