There was a time when the flashplugin-nonfree package was broken somehow
(I don't remember the exact details--see Wanderer's post for what the
package is and how it is supposed to be used). From that point forward I
took it upon myself to retrieve the most recent libflashplayer.so file
and stick it in the appropriate place(s), extracting the library from
the tar.gz archive offered on the Adobe site.  I didn't bother
installing the deb.
