In doing SRU reviews today, I came across LP: #1889106 which is a request for a no-change rebuild to bump the version so it beats the versions presented in previous releases.
The problem is real, but it seems suboptimal to me to keep fixing it this way. We'll need to keep SRUing chromium-browser to Focal (and later releases presumably). Every time we do that, all users (who have the transitional package) get yet another update to download, even if it is small. And every time it takes both Olivier's and the SRU team's time. Would an epoch bump be a better option here? Debian doesn't currently carry a package with that name, so we're already diverged enough that I don't forsee a problem from there.
