My opinion as maintainer is that is is safe to do so _provided_ lightspark 
gets more bugs filed; ironically. Due to the nature of both the lightspark 
project and Youtube (and other flash-relying websites), the combination of 
both will be broken over time. This brokenness needs to be documented as bugs 
in the Debian BTS for it to have a chance to be fixed. 

(CC'ing debian-release@ for opinions on the following)

My main concern is that a useful lightspark will need rather frequent updates, 
even in stable. I think it's better to have a semi-working not-totally-stable 
free flash player than letting our users rely on Adobe's. Release Team: would 
a more liberal upgrade policy be acceptable for lightspark ?

Cheers,

OdyX
