As easily revealed by "apt-cache rdepends chromum", there are none.

I think that already happened some time ago.  Please kill this.

Title:
  Package name conflicts with chromium-browser

Status in “chromium” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: chromium

  The package name "chromium" for "chromium-bsu" is assigned
  inappropriately and is confusing when taken into account the growing
  web browser chromium with the package name "chromium-browser" . Its
  nice that chrmoium-browser is the name given to the browser because of
  an already existing package called "chromium" but the name "chromium"
  to a shooting game will trick users to install it
