Bug#655536: chromium: Native client should be packaged and enabled

[Jason White]

Package: chromium
Version: 16.0.912.75~r116452-1
Severity: wishlist

According to the Debian changelog, native client is currently not included in
the package.

I am aware of at least one free/open-source Web tool that relies on it (namely
Google's ChromeVox accessibility extension with the SVOX Pico text to speech
system provided as a nacl executable). I assume that the lack of nacl support
in the Chromium package is one reason why this tool doesn't work, even with
experimental API extensions enabled.

I'm submitting this as a wishlist bug in the hope that the issues which
prevent inclusion of nacl will eventually be overcome.
