Bug description:
  [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.
