This is not possible. Due to the nature of the very restricted license
of the Flash plugin, the "flashplugin-nonfree" package is merely an
installer wrapper which downloads the plugin from Macromedia and
installs it. Since they don't ship the old version any more, rolling
back the package version wouldn't fix anything for anyone.

If you use Flash on Konqueror, please enable gutsy-proposed and help
testing the packages there (which fix Flash for Konqueror).

Thank you!
