The problem is that the link should be to the latest good code, not the code with known security defects. And Ubuntu seems to be saying that they require a local checksum to forcibly break the install whenever Adobe changes the package. So a permanent link to bad code is worse than a permanent link to good code that won't install until Ubuntu gets a O2It.
