Well, I don't know about at .deb, but there is a package of the 10.3 player (the FINAL version)
called flash-plugin-10.3.183.11-release.i386.rpm.

Just for test I tried installing it with
$ rpm -i --force-debian --nodeps flash-plugin-10.3.183.11-release.i386.rpm

and what I can I say, it worked! =D
For IceWeasel, I just had to symlink from /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins and voila!
BTW, don't be worried about the "--nodeps" override; RPM cannot correctly detect dependencies on Debian and even does not know about existence of a sane libc6/libstdc++/whatever system, so it generally assumes you have literally "none" of the above. Though you do have those and they work.)

Besides, there is also a v11 package out meanwhile:
flashplayer-mozilla_11.1.102.55-0.2_i386.deb
This time, for IceWeasel, symlink from /usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so to said Iceweasel plugins directory.

FWIW. Though it must be noted that it did not make these stupid error messages disappear.
