That would be appropriate if chrome-gnome-shell *only* integrated with
Chrome, but it does the same things for Chromium and Firefox, which
are in main. The name only starts with "chrome" because that's what its
upstream developer calls it (and the binary package would probably be
webext-gnome-shell if it was packaged today).
