This bug was fixed in the package chromium-browser - 2:1snap1-0ubuntu1
---------------
chromium-browser (2:1snap1-0ubuntu1) noble; urgency=low
* Modify the version scheme of the package (LP: #2007702). Epoch bumped to 2.
Since this is a package that install the Chromium snap, there is no point in
updating it just for the sake of the version number whenever there is a new
Chromium release. On the other hand, we don't want to leave it stuck in a
number such as 85 because it misleads users into believing the package will
install Chromium 85, which would be severily outdated.

Title:
Deb version numbering is misleading
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
For Ubuntu >= Focal the transitional debs are frozen at the version
number 1:85...
This might make one think[1][2] that it will install a critically
outdated Chromium while it does not, because it installs the snap.
