It only installs one file in /etc/opt for Chrome, namely: /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell.json Splitting that single config file into a separate contrib package feels like overkill here. It shouldn't hurt anything on a system without Chrome and it doesn't create any sort of dependency on Chrome, which is the normal case for contrib. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
