It's called Chromium - that ship sailed a long time ago. The distribution packages will probably call it chromium-browser. The official releases are google-chome. Since this isn't a distribution package, /opt is the correct place for it. The cron script is unfortunate, but there's a good reason for it (see the comments at the top). We're doing the best we can with a non-distro package. Unfortunately, having people configure their sources list fails for the same reason (it gets overridden by dist-upgrade sometimes).
