That is exactly the sort of package I am planning to add. "Chrome" |
| 13 |
cannot be built from source by anyone except a Google employee. |

To clarify: Chrome is a pre-built, officially branded version of the |
| 16 |
open-source "Chromium" project. It also includes a few proprietary |
| 17 |
components, like a PDF reader plugin from Adobe. |

The Chromium project does produce automatic snapshot builds which do |
| 20 |
not not include the branding and proprietary software, but these fall |
| 21 |
under more open-source friendly license. |
