While I see Julian's point, I believe it's better to stick to the same
versioning scheme used in the Firefox deb, which is exactly what you did
for Noble:
firefox | 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 | jammy | source, amd64,
arm64, armhf
firefox | 1:1snap1-0ubuntu3 | lunar | source, amd64,
arm64, armhf
firefox | 1:1snap1-0ubuntu3 | mantic | source, amd64,
arm64, armhf
firefox | 1:1snap1-0ubuntu3 | noble | source, amd64,
arm64, armhf
As Athos said above, I'm not entirely sure how "SRU-able" this is, but
either way, I went ahead and uploaded the debdiffs (after a minor typo
fix).
I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors from this bug; feel free to
resubscribe it if needed.
Thanks!

Bug description:
[Impact]
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outdated Chromium while it does not, because it installs the snap.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.
