want to install chromium browser, but cannot find the package in synaptic package manager

using the terminal i get
nals@fujitsu:~$ sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[sudo] password for nals:
Reading package lists... Done

Package chromium-browser is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'chromium-browser' has no installation candidate
nals@fujitsu:~$ ^C
nals@fujitsu:~$

Hi.

Its there but chromium , not chromium-browser...

gene@sparky:~$ apt-cache policy chromium
chromium:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 35.0.1916.153-2
  Version table:
     35.0.1916.153-2 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages


While your at it, might as well install
