[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#851927: chromium: Update removed all (local) installed extensions

[Simon Ruderich]

Package: chromium
Version: 55.0.2883.75-5
Severity: important

Hello,

After updating to 55.0.2883.75-5 all my extensions are gone! This
includes custom locally installed extensions and extensions
installed from the Chrome webstore.

Even after reading the NEWS article, restoring my old chrome
config and using  --enable-remote-extensions the extensions were
still gone.

Even if the --enable-rmeote-extensions switch is repaired I think
this behavior to _remove_ remote extensions is highly unexpected
and will surprise many stretch users and should be reverted.

Regards
Simon
