I think you must be thinking of the Chromium in Stable Squeeze which released with version 6. That isn't the one under discussion. Stable is stable and so that one won't be changing by intent. The Chromium browser under discussion is the current one from Sid. It is normally up to date and current. However at this moment things are in a bad state due to the "Aw, Snap!" crash with the current version. Hopefully that will eventually be sorted out and things will be back on track again. > Why not just download Chromium from the Ubuntu ppa?

However do remember that Ubuntu is not Debian and when you "cross the streams" sometimes bad things happen. In that aircraft you are a test pilot for every flight evaluating its flight characteristics. Be sure to wear your parachute and know where the seat ejection handles are located. :-) Bob
