Both packages build latest available versions , so they're like binary 
VCS packages .
In my opinion the -bin suffix must be present, so people are aware these 
packages don't build from source.

Given that upstream calls them continuous builds & snapshot builds , i'd 
suggest
chromium-continuous-bin
chromium-snapshot-bin
(it somehow feels wrong to call something nightly when it can be build 
multiple times per day).
