[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#851692: chromium: startup script is disabling all extensions

[Daniel Serpell]

Package: chromium
Version: 55.0.2883.75-5
Followup-For: Bug #851692

Hi!

The attached patch to the chromium launcher script allows enabling
extensions by adding a file to /etc/chromium.d/ with the line:

   CHROME_ENABLE_REMOTE_EXTENSIONS=1

Currently, it is really difficult to enable extensions, so my adblock
extensions is disabled :-(

Thanks,
