No need to manually add the Google repository, when you install Chrome it adds the repo to your sources.list.
http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html
Note: Installing Google Chrome will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep Google Chrome up to date. If you don’t want Google’s repository, do “sudo touch /etc/default/google-chrome” before installing the package.

If you want the dev version do apt-get install google-chrome-unstable

google-chrome-unstable:
Installed: 6.0.466.0-r52279
Candidate: 6.0.466.0-r52279
Version table:
*** 6.0.466.0-r52279 0
500 http://dl.google.com stable/main Packages

Please remove my two previous posts, I'm a bit tired: I think there's a better way of doing it. Simply follow instructions from Google Repos for Debian Howto modifying the last step to:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

This way you'll have Google Chrome updated automatically!
