Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * A recent OpenJDK update changes the value of the "java.vendor"
  property from "Oracle Corporation" to "Private Build". This breaks the
  code in LibreOffice that detects an installed JVM.

   * The fix is currently in LibreOffice 6.2.3 on eoan.

  [Test Case]

   1. Launch the LibreOffice Start Center
   2. Open Tools > Options
   3. Navigate to LibreOffice > Advanced
   4. A JRE should be listed with Location: /usr/lib/jvm/...

  [Regression Potential]

   * This fix is small and concentrated so potential for regression
  should be relatively low.

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