Debian does not have a fixed release cycle, and probably never will. Maybe a fixed freeze cycle, but this is still not decided. OTOH the last three releases (etch, lenny and squeeze) were approximately 2 years apart, are you talking about sarge?

AFAIK patches are mostly backported and chromium might be updated since it is a leaf package. The Release Notes for squeeze have more info.
