Just FYI, nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.4-1 built fine under etch-amd64 (using the
source package was pulled from unstable back when that version was
current).  I've been using that version along with the i386
libflashplayer.so without any problems.

The current nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5-1 does have dependency problems under
etch though.  Those who are interested can probably find the older version
from the unstable repository on http://snapshot.debian.net and rebuild it
under etch.  (May or June of 2007 should have a suitable version
available).
