[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#792441: chromium: "This extension is managed and cannot be removed or disabled."

[Jason Woofenden]

Package: chromium
Version: 43.0.2357.130-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

chrome://extensions says "This extension is managed and cannot be
removed or disabled."

This is a horrible thing to say.

What does it mean "managed"? Who's managing these extensions, and
why isn't it me?

The three extensions that have this language, have a checkbox for
"allow in incognito". If I can ban it from incognito, then it's not
required for operation, and I should be able to not allow it in
normal chromium windows.

I would very much like to be able to get rid of the "Chromium PDF
Viewer".

If chromium really can't run without these "extensions", then this
message should be changed to something like:

	This is not really an extension, but rather a core part of
	chromium which cannot be removed.

If chromium _can_ run without these extensions, then please make it
so I can disable them with the usual checkbox, or at least put in a
message about how to disable them.
