Did they define 'automates'? Is there a required level of pain that we
have to make the user go through? At the moment it's just "type chrome
into google; click an rpm; input your password". I don't see how
that's any harder than "type a chrome into the software center; click
install; agree to the EULA; input your password".

So perhaps when the user clicks install, it just opens the browser to
something like https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ ? --
that's perfectly doable right now, but the UX would be pretty, well,
unusual.
