Comment 11 for bug 570812

this means chromium will now use /etc/chromium/policies if present.
I already have /etc/chromium-browser with a 'default' file where i let users specify which flags they always want to pass to chromium.
I guess i'll use that path instead as it matches both the package name and the binary name, meaning i have to patch the sources. (just to 's,/etc/chromium/policies,/etc/chromium-browser/policies,')
@evan: any chance you'll adopt it? after all, you already use the name chromium-browser in various places.

also i want chromium to stay as it is by default, and provide a dist package that will ship those distro specific prefs.
This dist package could be seeded in the same way 'ubufox' is for firefox.
I'm still unsure about how stable those prefs are. If they are stable, that package could have its own source package (like ububox) so the same could be used for the various builds (stable, beta, dev and trunk) and its content could be tweaked by (for example) the desktop team without rebuilding everything.
What do you think ?
