Why not: 1) just install directly from Adobe - it's really quite simple
to do, 2) convince medibuntu (http://www.medibuntu.org/) to include in
their repository in the same way that they include the Adobe Reader? At
least medibuntu do a fairly good job of keeping their repo updated.

This "bug" is starting to look like it needs to be ported to the sounder
mail list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/sounder) rather
than continue in launchpad. Purge flashplugin-nonfree and flag it as
failed and be done with it.
