Right now I have the former installed, also boom.
```
$ dpkg -L chromium-browser | grep changelog.Debian
/usr/share/doc/chromium-browser/changelog.Debian.gz
$ dpkg -l | grep chromium-
ii chromium-browser 72.0.3626.119-0ubuntu0.18.04.1

ii chromium-codecs-ffmpeg 72.0.3626.119-0ubuntu0.18.04.1

$ ls -l ../chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/changelog.Debian.gz
ls: cannot access '../chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/changelog.Debian.gz': No
such file or directory
```
I don't think saving 2k warrants breaking sane access to the changelog:
```
$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/chromium-browser/
total 1108
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 feb 25 15:56 changelog.Debian.gz ->

```
That copyright file takes up actual space but is not symlinked, :thinking_face:
```
$ md5sum /usr/share/doc/chromium-{browser,codecs-ffmpeg}/copyright
983091d3a4c4e207f2146a911a7f7387 /usr/share/doc/chromium-browser/copyright

/usr/share/doc/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg/copyright
```
