Bug Description
The Description for Adobes Flash-Plugin installer is a bit technical and also frightening:
> This package will download the Flash Player from the net
Does it download or install Flash. Is it called Flash-Plugin oder Flash-Player?
> It is a Netscape/Mozilla type plugin
obsolet. whats netscape anyway? (these days a long gone)
> Any browser based on Netscape or Mozilla can use the Flash-Plugin.
> This package currently support the following browsers: Mozilla ....
> Konqueror can also use the Flash plugin if konqueror-nsplugins is installed.
In fact, konqueror-nsplugins is in the konqueror package-recommands, so it should be installed automatically. Also the List of Browsers should be a real list.
My proposal, which definitely needs your help:
The Flash-Plugin-
The Flash-Plugin will work with a range of web-browsers including, but not limited to:
* Mozilla Firefox
* Chromium
* Iceweasel
* Konqueror
* Epiphany
* and a lot more browsers
-----
The Warning could be written like that:
Please note that Adobes distribution license applies to the Flash-Plugin, which means installing this package implies you accepted the terms of this license, available at www.adobe.com.

Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu better by reporting this bug. I'm accepting this as a paper cut with the importance of 'Medium' because this is a package that many users will deal with, and therefore it is important the description is userfriendly.
