I looked at your website and I know understand your point. Using the "extension installation service" to install your plugin looks useful and simpler from a developer and a user perspective. Like Safari for Windows, Chromium don't support .xpi since it doesn't support extensions.
As others mentioned, you can't take this route with Chromium. I'm sorry to tell you you'll need to create yet another installer. That being said, if a plugin is already installed in Firefox, it will be detected and loaded by Chromium.
