Not seeing that here, neither in bionic nor in disco. The changelog and
copyright files installed by chromium-codecs-ffmpeg are actual files,
not symbolic links:

Title:
broken symlink to changelog.Debian.gz in chromium-browser
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdbs/+bug/194574,
which has to do with saving space, for some reason, the chromium-
browser has its changelog symlinked to an optional package.
Version: 72.0.3626.119-0ubuntu0.18
Right now, I have chromium-codecs-ffmpeg installed, but the changelog
links to documentation in chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra.
```
$ dpkg -L chromium-browser | grep changelog.Debian
/usr/share/doc/chromium-browser/changelog.Debian.gz
$ dpkg -l | grep chromium-
ii chromium-browser 72.0.3626.119-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 Chromium web
browser, open-source version of Chrome
ii chromium-codecs-ffmpeg 72.0.3626.119-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 Free ffmpeg
codecs for the Chromium Browser
$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/chromium-browser/changelog.Debian.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 feb 25 15:56
/usr/share/doc/chromium-browser/changelog.Debian.gz ->
../chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/changelog.Debian.gz
$ ls -l ../chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/changelog.Debian.gz
ls: cannot access '../chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/changelog.Debian.gz': No
such file or directory
```
I don't think saving 2k warrants breaking sane access to the changelog:
```
$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/chromium-browser/
total 1108
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 feb 25 15:56 changelog.Debian.gz ->
../chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/changelog.Debian.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1126239 okt 25 2017 copyright
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2512 okt 25 2017 copyright.problems.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2975 okt 25 2017 README.source
$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg/
total 1104
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2263 feb 25 15:56 changelog.Debian.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1126239 okt 25 2017 copyright
```
That copyright file takes up actual space but is not symlinked,
:thinking_face:
```
$ md5sum /usr/share/doc/chromium-{browser,codecs-ffmpeg}/copyright
983091d3a4c4e207f2146a911a7f7387 /usr/share/doc/chromium-browser/copyright
983091d3a4c4e207f2146a911a7f7387
/usr/share/doc/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg/copyright
```
If anything, I would guess that the symlink should be the other way
around:
- chromium-codecs-ffmpeg/changelog.Debian.gz symlinked to
../chromium-browser/changelog.Debian.gz
- chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra/changelog.Debian.gz symlinked to
../chromium-browser/changelog.Debian.gz
(And optionally that copyright file as well.)
