Enclosed is a patch including a watch file. It should be used only in modes skipping mk-origtargz. The file exclusion via tar --delete in mk-origtargz's current implementation is too inefficient for chromium. For downloading incl. repacking, use the existing make target which the patch modifies to use uscan.
I just saw https://salsa.debian.org/chromium-team/chromium/-/commit/5024391dc8f8706046e947bcf1fd88f3af85291f introduced a similar watch file but did not change debian/rules' get-orig-source target to obtain the orig tarball via uscan instead of wget. I think it would be an improvement as you then have only one url that is downloaded from.
