Sorry I wrote this bug report while really tired, the real issue is that 
removing the old package removes /usr/share/pixmaps/chromium-browser.  
This makes all launchers pointing to it lose their icon, the patch is 
still a valid fix. This is already being done for the binary, but should 
be done for the Icon as well.
