I just made Thomas Anderson from the Chrome/ium team aware of this.

They might consider linking Google Chrome statically against  
lib(ayatana-)appindicator for a while until the transition has settled.

As there is only one Chrome build for all .deb based Linuxes, a  
removal of libappindicator from buster might become problematic, if  
not going the above pathway.

Anyway, this is OT here (#880169)
