Is there a reason why one would prefer this method over `apt-get
install -f`?

I believe that if you use the `-f` way, these dependencies
will end up marked as automatically installed, making it easy to
fully uninstall the Chrome later on.

OTOH, if you install them all manually, APT will not uninstall
them automatically for you, if you get fed up with Chrome.

Am I mising something?
