I it was introduced into squeeze yesterday (source package meta-gnome2 
2.28+6 transitioned to squeeze on 2010-03-16). The reason seems to be 
that swfdec was removed. The changelog[0] for meta-gnome2 says (among 
other things):


  * Drop swfdec-gnome.
  * Make gnome depend on mozilla-plugin-gnash so that there’s at least
    something for Flash websites.
