Hmm, based on your sources.list, I would have expected to see

Get:1 http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian-multimedia lenny/main flashplayer-mozilla

here. Please post the output of this command:

apt-cache policy flashplayer-mozilla
 
debguy:~# apt-cache policy flashplayer-mozilla
flashplayer-mozilla:

Again I am surprised: The debian-multimedia repository on that mirror
should have version 10.0.12.36-0.2 (without the "1:" in the beginning).
You can take a look yourself here:

http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian-multimedia/pool/main/f/flash-player/

Indeed, so last night I had resulted to install flashplayer-nonfree from Sid.

You can comment out the invocation of update-alternatives in the
postinst script, but I would first try to find out where this .deb file
comes from. (The "apt-cache ..." command above should tell us this.)
