An unrelated feature request: it would be nice to get netflix working
with the closed source libwidevinecdm.so and libwidevinecdmadapter.so 

ncopa-desktop:~$ ldd /usr/lib/chromium/libwidevinecdmadapter.so 
	ldd (0x723cd632b000)
	libwidevinecdm.so => /usr/lib/chromium/libwidevinecdm.so (0x723cd5ba2000)

Adding those symbols for libc6 ABI compat would be a first step.
