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. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: https://www.sesse.net/
