[PLUG] /not/ OK, Google

[Louis Kowolowski]

Given that this was announced over a year ago (http://chrome.blogspot.com/2014/02/hands-free-google-voice-search-in-chrome.html <http://chrome.blogspot.com/2014/02/hands-free-google-voice-search-in-chrome.html>), is the issue that debian packaged things wrong, getting a lot of people in a huff, or something else? Why is this news now?
