It needed some hacking to get installed

# LANG=C dpkg --configure -a
Setting up flashplayer-mozilla (2:10.0.d20.7-0.1) ...
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing flashplayer-mozilla (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 flashplayer-mozilla
# ln -s /usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so
think:/etc# LANG=C dpkg --configure -a
Setting up flashplayer-mozilla (2:10.0.d20.7-0.1) ...

So it installed, but iceweasel didn't see it so I symlinked 
/usr/lib/libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins

I only tested with one youtube video, but no problems.

Regards,
Andrei
