[Impact]

     https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.3#7.3.6_release

 * This source packages matches the processed SRU for jammy handled at
     https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1988744
   and a test build is currently available at
     https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/experimental/+packages

 * Similar backport of 7.3.6 for focal handled at
     https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1989418

 * LibreOffice 6.0.7 (EOL since November 26, 2018) is currently released in bionic.

[Scope]

 * Backport of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:7.3.6-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

 * Backport target is Bionci/18.04 LTS only to provide an official build of a more recent upstream version of LibreOffice

[Testing]

 * Upstream testing. Bugs fixed upstream typically include unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised (both in an automated manner and manually).

  * A recent set of upstream's automated jenkins testing can be found here:

  * More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here:

    * Feature tests

 * Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were run and verified as passing.

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