Did you file a bug against chromium already about this? They should
improve the test to not fail like this in the future. If you haven't
done so, please file the bug ASAP.

On top of that, your package will have to add a versioned Breaks on the
latest chromium that is built against the current version of icu. This
has to be set when the package can be uploaded to unstable. Now is not
the time yet, see below.

Unfortunately, the state of chromium at this moment doesn't allow us to
rebuild and have the package migrate to buster as chromium FTBFS on
arm64 and the package is newer in unstable. You'll have to wait until
that situation improves.
