This file was recently sorted by Robert (you'll want to merge from trunk).

How much harder is it to make create_installer_script.py understand variables on
the LHS of the ':' here?
If that's not possible and the only reason for putting this here is Greg's
concern that everything that lands in the archive should be referenced here,
could we instead just put a comment and make the installer script pull the right
manifest? I don't really like the glob...

I looked into it briefly, and I think it is non trivial (or at least, not
obvious) how to make create_installer_script.py understand variables on the LHS.
Since I don't think it makes sense to block the landing of this change on
refactoring how chrome.release is parsed/managed, I think the options are
wildcards in chrome.release or magic in the installer script.
 
Eventually, I'd like to figure out how to delete old .manifests from the build
dir, to avoid them cluttering up dev builds (installer script magic would negate
the need for this, but would still be magic, and you'd have to run the script
just to see the manifest, which seems dodgy).

For the time being, I'll defer to Gab and Greg for the magic vs wildcards
debate.

Wlidcard w/ comment sgtm then (with script to delete old manifests).
