I was thinking about how long this is taking; maybe there should be two packages:

flashplugin-nonfree the downloader and
flashplugin-nonfree-md5sum as a dependency

the latter could be updated QUICKLY as needed as Adobe changes their version.

BTW... the real solution to bugs like this is either for Adobe to make flash libre or for Gnash (or equivalent libre project) to catch up and take over so that we don't have to jump through hoops every time Adobe dumps a new version onto its servers.
