Bug Description

Not sure when this started happening, but today I noticed while testing chromium-browser 98.0.4758.102-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 that the chromium-browser binary package installs a lot of build artifacts that increase unnecessarily the size of the package.

These artifacts include *.runtime_deps files, as well as binaries such as transport_security_state_generator or protozero_plugin.

  Installed-Size: 283 MB

to:

i.e. a net gain of 7 MB in compressed size, and 33 MB in installed size.
