Chromium suddenly starts downloading a binary blob

This is an attitude that is starting to bug me, there is a cognitive dissonance between expectation and reality that I think should be explored, in what way is this change being discovered, investigated, fixed, deployed and commented upon by our Glorious Editor, "zero eyes" of review? Sure, this wasn't detected by some sort of code review before it was compiled but one of Debian Unstable's purposes is to build and deploy code so that it can be tested in the field and problems discovered, which this one was, if there is an expectation for something different that this issue has failed then I think it makes more sense to re-align expectations to reality than to take a negative attitude toward success.

I mean if this had fallen through the cracks and been discovered by an end user in Debian Stable 8 maybe that would indicate a review failure but something being wrong in a test system seems appropriate to me, we can never not make mistakes but we can detect, fix and learn from them after the fact.
