Yes, but that PPA (chromium-daily) is maintained by a bot, and picks near latest, untested builds. It's highly unlikely that a package from there will go straight into Karmic, or any version of Ubuntu. It's more likely that a "release" package will come from fta's own PPA[0], which has a build for Karmic but not for any of the older releases of Ubuntu.
As for it saying initial release, it has said that since the first package in that PPA was build[1]. Like I said, it's most likely that it was for convenience, since it is maintained by a bot and not fta himself(though, I think he does check on it now and then). Anyway, sorry if that came across as a bit hostile. When I'm writing it seems like that's a tendency of mine, and I don't really know how else to write. I have to work on that.
