That gives an option for the swf plugin too, if installed. galternatives is

Why don't more users just avoid installing the gnome meta packages? I
have avoided them since etch.
http://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/meta-gnome2
It doesn't seem like much to pick through the gnome selection, installing
preferred *non*meta packages. At least not when compared to the long term
of package management.
I forget which are the kickers to get a fully working desktop. I think
gnome-sessions for one.
