apt-build & Chromium PPA

I'd like to build an (optimized) Version of Chromium for my machine with apt-build on Ubuntu 10.04. I've added a Chromium-PPA to my /etc/sources.list.d/ like this:



deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/stable/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/stable/ubuntulucid main


But if I run



sudo apt-build install chromium browser



It tells me




chromium-browser will not be built because it doesn't have a source package.
Missing source package name for source_by_source().




On the other hand
sudo apt-get source chromium-browser




seems to work fine, even downloads the 6.x from the PPA



What am I doing wrong? Building ffmpeg and firefox via apt-build worked like a breeze. Except that my preferred chromium is from a PPA I don't see a difference.
