AFAIK Chromium doesn't modify any of its bundled software. Would it make
sense to create a chromium-source package that replaces the bundled
sources with our sources, allowing us to keep the chromium source and
the bundled source up-to-date. Then we could use this new
'chromium-source' package as a replacement source for
chromium/inox/qtwebengine?
