> You don't have that web deb,

Odd. I do this often: "apt-get source xxx ; debuild xxx". In fact I do it often I have a little shell script that takes the URL of a Debian .dsc (source package), and builds it from source.

Yes, Chrome is a little different. It's near impossible to build from source. I'm struggle to understand anybody who favours the open source model could think that is a good thing, that should be facilitated by the open source movement. If your happy with that, why not just download the binary from Google directly and bypass all the inconvenience open source imposes? That's effectively what happens for google-chrome on Debian now. If you like running google-chrome on Debian it works very well.
