Comment #4 on issue 16130 by daniel.r.kegel:  
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list keeps reappearing
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16130

We considered having a separate package for the repository apt source,
but that would have meant two separate downloads.  Our requirement is
for a truly simple user experience for the average user downloading
it from our web site, so it had to be all in one package.

We are looking forward to ubuntu's improved support for third party  
repositories
with bated breath.  (We'd still need the current scheme for older versions,  
though.)

Our intent is to only add the apt source on first install.
Are you seeing something different?

(Also, we won't add the apt source at all if you
do "sudo touch /etc/defaults/google-chrome" before installing the package
as documented at  
http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel#TOC-Linux
That's there for anyone who wants to deploy chrome internally
on a lot of workstations.  It's not great to make a postinstall script sense
a flag like that, but at least it's something.)
