It is listed. It prints the same value as Iceweasel.

$ update-alternatives --display flash-mozilla.so
flash-mozilla.so - auto mode
link currently points to /usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so - priority 10
Current 'best' version is
'/usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so'

Hmmm ... I've found this post[1]. It signals the same issue I'm
having. I guess I would have to install the 32 bit version of
libflashplayer.so; it looks weird to have a functional 64 bit version
for Iceweasel/Midori but a nspluginwrapper-endorsed 32 bit version for Epiphany.
