[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#799939: chromium: does not build / is not available for armhf

[Josua Mayer]

Package: chromium
Version: 45.0.2454.85-1~deb8u1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

While chromium itself works fine on ARM, as proven by the ChromeBooks, it is not available
on Debian armhf (nor armel).
There are 2 things required to get this working:
a) add armhf to control for all those packages that are currently only built for i386 and amd64
b) enable a few special gyp defines in rules
Both of these aren't hard, and I intend to provide a minimal patch for that as soon as I have a working build.

Just reporting thos on a amd64 machine; but of course it affects armhf.
