If you install chrome by downloading the deb package from Google's site
it creates /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list containing:

   ### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
   # You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
   deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

I bet 'stable' is the only release name that exists on their system,
don't forget this package is also for Ubuntu and other distributions
which use the Debian package format.
