> Where do you see that chromium-browser suggests chromedriver and
firefoxdriver in xenial?

Sorry for the confusion, python-selenium suggests/recommends them
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/python-selenium). Firefoxdriver has
been added in newer releases, but the chromedriver package is still
missing.

The reason I marked chromium-browser is that the package seems to be
missing due to a delta between Ubuntu and Debian.

In Debian the chromedriver package exists and is a transitional package
for chromium-driver. Both of these binary packages are part of chromium-
browser (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/chromium-browser). However,
chromium-browser in Ubuntu has a package with at third name; chromium-
chromedriver (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser).

I am not sure why the *driver package names differ, and I haven't found
any specific notes on this. In order for python-selenium to find it, I
reckon either python-selenium needs to be patched with the Ubuntu
package name or chromium-browser needs to provide a (transitional?)
package named chromedriver.

Title:
  In 16.04 the package suggests vital, but non-existent packages
  chromedriver and firefoxdriver

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in python-selenium package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Xenial this package suggests two other packgages: chromedriver and
  firefoxdriver. These packgages are not available in Xenial. Only
  Chromium-chromedriver is.

  Unfortunately, python-selenium does not provide webdrivers, so they
  have to be installed separately. Why aren’t they available? This
  greatly hampers the usefulness of python-selenium.
