mogwai [1] filed a request to merge chromium-widevine-armv7h [2] into
widevine-armv7h [3]:

Could this package please be merged into widevine-armv7h.  Both
packages are maintained by me.  Since chromium 78+ a source code patch
is required for chromium in order to load the widevine library on
armv7h.  On the other hand, I figured out a way to load the widevine
library in firefox (without patching required).
Thus, the old package name doesn't reflect the functionality anymore.
The new package name reflects the fact that the package provides (a
way to extract) the armv7h widevine library itself along with a few
scripts to load the library in chromium and firefox and maybe
additional browsers in the future.
