  [Impact]

   * This effects all users who use the Japanese era date format in
  LibreOffice.

   * The fix is currently in LibreOffice 6.2.3 on eoan.

  [Test Case]

   1. Start Calc
   2. Put "01/05/2019" into a cell
   3. Right-click on the cell and select "Format Cells"
   4. Set “Language" to "Japanese"
   5. Set “Format" to "H11.12.31"
   6. Cell should show "R1.05.01" (not "N1.05.01”)

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is minor so potential for regression is low.

   * A combination of autopkgtests and manual testing as described above
  should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in.
