Dear maintainer,

The upgrade from bullseye to bookworm leaves behind this obsolete conffile:

    spwhitton@melete:~>dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' chrome-gnome-shell | grep obsolete$
     /etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell.json 332a7cffa69102648a83e6819cefe5e3 obsolete

Please call dpkg-maintscript-helper (probably as arranged by
dh_installdeb) to remove the conffile on upgrade, per Policy 10.7.3.

Control: reassign -1 src: gnome-browser-connector 42.1-3

chrome-gnome-shell is now a transitional package that depends on
gnome-browser-connector which provides that file.

Patches welcome if this is a bug and if you have an idea of how to fix it.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

Hello,

I think it's a bug because if the user has edited the conffile, it needs
to be properly taken over by gnome-browser-connector.  I think
gnome-browser-connector needs to use the mv_conffile feature of
dpkg-maintscript-helper.
