Well one could install a package containing libflashplayer.so from one of the
sources I mentioned in my first post. Personally, I wouldn't care if there was
a default plugin as there is now (sfwdec-mozilla), as long as I can purge it
w/o also purging Gnome.

So the question is, why is:

    $ apt-cache showpkg swfdec-mozilla

    Package: swfdec-mozilla
    Versions: 
    0.6.0-2 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-i386_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)
     Description Language: 
                     File: /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-i386_Packages
