Why doesn't the chrome dev channel upgrade Chrome via apt-get upgrade anymore?

I was using the Chrome dev channel for a while and was used to getting updates via:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Recently I discovered though that my dev channel remains the same and I have to redownload the google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb from google and then an upgrade gets applied via the software center.

How to always get upgrades for Chrome dev channel?

From :

Setup key with:

wget -q -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Setup repository with:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'

Setup package with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable

Then you can get updates using sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
