While I'm happy to see this fix released, I'm not so happy that it broke
all of our company's Selenium-based scripts running on Ubuntu 16.04 by
making a non-backwards-compatible change in an LTS release.  All of our
scripts had been written to accommodate the "buggy" behavior that has
been present since Xenial's release by specifying the ChromeDriver path
at '/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver'.  Now, after applying the
latest security updates, these scripts are finding that their
ChromeDriver has gone missing.

In order to provide backwards-compatibility on the LTS releases, could
you please provide (in a packaging update) a symlink at the old
'/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver' location pointing to the new
'/usr/bin/chromedriver' location?

Thanks for your consideration of this request.
