Chrome is not in the Ubuntu repositories.

The only relevant package in Ubuntu is chromium-browser. See for yourself:
http://bit.ly/8XW9pN

Within the Chrome package postinst file, you find this tidbit:

# sources.list setting for google-chrome updates.
REPOCONFIG="deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main"

And then they install the signing key:

# Install the repository signing key (see also:
# http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/aboutkey.html)

Later on they actually add it all into the sources.list.

So... sure, you'll see Chrome in Synaptic if you've installed software 
from Google, because Google adds their repository. There's also a good 
chance you'll find Picasa, which is also not in the Ubuntu repositories.
