Can anyone explain?

Not definitive, but I would guess that the package downloads the file to a temporary directory, then unpacks the flash plugin from it and installs it on your system. Finally, the temporary directory is deleted once it's no longer needed.

The text "Saving to ..." and "... saved" would appear to come from wget, but it would probably be nice for the package installer to echo something afterwards to indicate that it's done more than just download a file onto your system.
