I am using the flashplugin from Debian's nonfree repo. If there are
any security updates for it from Adobe shouldn't those updates
ultimately end up in the repo just like all other nonfree stuff? Or
would the security updates end up in some backport repo, since it
would be coming from a newer, non-Linux version of Flash?
As far as I can tell, I have the latest version not only from the repo,
but according to Adobe as well: 11.2.202
