I realize I should have Cc-ed debian-release :-)
Release team, for the short recap: Would it be acceptable to have chromium
provide a chromium-source binary package, and then package CEF (Chromium
Embedded Framework) Build-Depending on that package, and then have other
packages depend on CEF? CEF aims to provide a stable API/ABI on top of
Chromium for other software to use, but needs updating whenever Chromium
releases a new major version. See #893448 for some more details.
