I'm using 1 year now debian squeeze amd64 and never had a problem, except with skype where I had to do something with i32 libraries if I remember correct. But your question comes at the very day where upgrading my squeeze as I regularly do, I saw that flashplugin-nonfree disabled my flash!!! I just tried gnash and it doesn't work, and can't seem to find this flashplayer-mozilla on debian-multimedia*...
