Bug#840804: chrome-gnome-shell: does not work with Google Chrome

Package: chrome-gnome-shell
Version: 7.1-1
Severity: important

This package does not work with Google Chrome - it gives an error that the
native host connector is not detected.

I am pretty sure that this is because debian-distribution.patch prevents the
package from installing required JSON files into the correct location for
Google Chrome ("/etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/" instead of
"/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts/"). Copying
"io.github.ne0sight.gs_chrome_connector.json" and
"org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell.json" into the correct location for my browser
allowed the extension to work.
