Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 6.4.7.2.M1 is a bug-fix release of the 6.4 line:
It receives important bug-fixes on top of the 6.4 branch which is EOL since
November 30, 2020. Currently maintained by Andras Timar for France's MIMO
(https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2013/06/17/the-document-foundation-welcomes-frances-mimo-in-the-advisory-board/)
* Version 6.4.7 is currently released in focal.
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?h=distro/mimo/mimo-6-4
(that's a total of ?? 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.
[Testing]
* Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were
run and verified as passing.

* [amd64] ...
* [arm64] ...
* [armhf] ...
* [ppc64el] ...
* [s390x] ...
* General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite were
carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice
[Regression Potential]
* A minor release with a total of ?? bug fixes always carries the
potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bug-fix-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.
