[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#893448: please add a chromium-source binary package

[Steinar H. Gunderson]

Source: chromium-browser
Version: 65.0.3325.146-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

As mentioned on pkg-chromium-browser@, it would be useful if chromium-browser
shipped a chromium-browser source package; it would allow packaging and building
CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) against Debian's (patched) sources instead of
off some random git checkout. I've added a patch.
