2) No more packages that bypass the package management system and
secure apt:
a) There are still several (typically non-free) packages which download
stuff from the web, install or at least un-tar it somwhere without
checking any integrity information that would be hardcoded in that
package.
Do you have any concrete examples (besides flashplugin-nonfree, which is
indeed abominable)?
b) Another problem are IMHO plugins like Firefox extensions, kinda
bypassing APT. I think at least those that are installed via a package,
shouldn't be upgradable/overwritable anymore with online versions.
What exactly do you mean? The only way I can upgrade my Iceweasel
add-ons is via apt/dpkg.
