[Bug 2007702] SRU2

[Nathan Teodosio]

Hi Athos, thanks for having a look.

 > Would you mind filing the SRU paperwork as per the template at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template ?

I think I have already done that. It is admittedly very short but so is 
the proposed change. Should I extend any section?

 > Could you please fix the version numbers for each release?

I'm attaching those, thanks.

Bug description:
  For Ubuntu >= Focal the transitional debs are frozen at the version
  number 1:85...

  This might make one think[1][2] that it will install a critically
  outdated Chromium while it does not, because it installs the snap.

  [Test plan]

  Install the package and confirm the version change with e.g.

    dpkg -l | grep '^ii *chromium-browser *2:1snap1-0ubuntu1'

  [Regression potential]

  If the version were incorrectly constructed the deb build could fail.
