Bug description:
[Impact]
Low. Some Debian packages depend on gnome-www-browser, and chromium-
browser should be marked as providing it (similarly, it should provide
x-www-browser).
For instance, cinnamon-desktop-environment depends on gnome-www-
browser and it doesn't have the chromium-browser name in the
alternates (it has Debian's chromium name instead).
[Test case]
The output of `apt-cache showpkg gnome-www-browser` after the "Reverse
Provides:" line should contain a chromium-browser entry.
Similarly for `apt-cache showpkg x-www-browser`.
[Regression potential]
This is adding a couple of "provides" entries to the control file.
Regressions could happen if other packages depending on or
recommending gnome-www-browser (or x-www-browser) were implicitly
relying on the fact that chromium-browser wasn't a candidate, but that
sounds unlikely, and in any case something that should be fixed in
thoses packages.
