Saïvann Carignan: Why not request that Adobe simply set up a DEB repository? (They have a YUM (RPM-based) repository; see http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2007/06/new_installation_method.html) or why not get Canonical to get Adobe's Flash into the partner repos?

And regarding "we will successfully fix this issue, permanently! Let's show to Adobe how ubuntu community is cooperative!" The only way that's going to happen is if Gnash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnash) or similar advances enough that it can be pre-installed in Ubuntu, finally making that piece of proprietary software unnecessary once and for all ^_- Or Adobe makes flash into software libre... but I'm not going to hold my breath on THAT faint hope.
