Thanks, Nathan.

Would you mind filing the SRU paperwork as per the template at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template ?

I am unsure if this would be suitable for an SRU, but that's for the SRU
team to assess and decide.

Moreover, I see that you are using the same version for all the proposed
patches. If you check item 4.1 in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure, it states that,
for SRUs, the version number should not conflict with any later and
future version in other Ubuntu releases.

Could you please fix the version numbers for each release? Check the
versions in jammy and focal for an example of how this could be done.

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  outdated Chromium while it does not, because it installs the snap.

  [Test plan]

  Install the package and confirm the version change with e.g.

    dpkg -l | grep '^ii *chromium-browser *2:1snap1-0ubuntu1'

  [Regression potential]

  If the version were incorrectly constructed the deb build could fail.
