The changes for ticket #960454 removed the autoupdater for widevine.
And then mentions in the README.debian that
/usr/lib/chromium/WidevineCdm/ is the place to put the widevine
binaries.

But this is not working anymore with this chromium version (but worked
with older versions from May 2020). Also the patch to load it from
$HOME/.local/lib/libwidevinecdm.so doesn't have any effect at all
anymore.

The only file queried for widevine is now
$HOME/.config/chromium/WidevineCdm/latest-component-updated-widevine-cdm

And this definitely makes sense because Debian builds it without
BUNDLE_WIDEVINE_CDM and so the code (AddContentDecryptionModules's
bundled_widevine, ...) is completely disabled - thus disabling
$HOME/.local/lib/libwidevinecdm.so and /usr/lib/chromium/WidevineCdm/
