Well, I think there should another option to get Flash Player working on
64 bits systems. One could install "nspluginwrapper" from "contrib" repo
(this package should trigger the installation of the required 32 bits
compatibility libraries) and then download the latest flash version
available from Adobe site (tar.gz) and putting the "libflashplayer.so"
inside users directories ("/$HOME/.mozilla/plugins/") or in a global
location, under "/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/".
Disclaimer: I have personally not tested this in Lenny.
