[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.

** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
