Given that Adobe is donating Flex SDK to Apache, I'd expect all the
licensing and build issues to be cleared very soon

Sorry it took so long to respond. I just started a new job, and my time is a bit tighter now.
Well, now I _really_ don't see the point in investing a lot of effort in fighting the Adobe build system. So my opinion is that we should either put the flex-sdk package as is into non-free or contrib, or just wait until Apache reorganizes it into something friendlier.
