Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:3.3
Severity: normal
The man page says:
--quiet
Produce no informational output.
But a section of the script still produces information output regardless.
# update-flashplugin-nonfree --quiet --install
already exists: /usr/bin/flash-player-properties
already exists: /usr/share/applications/flash-player-properties.desktop

Looking at the update-flashplugin-nonfree script I wonder about this
section. It copies files into place unless like the above the target
files already exist. And yet these are files that are owned by the
package and not expected to be edited by a local admin. They are not
conffiles. Shouldn't the install always update these files? I think
it is unexpected that it does not.
I propose that this section should always overwrite these files even
if they previously existed. And then there won't be information
output produced with --quiet either.
It would be nicest if it did a binary compare and only updated the
files if the binary contents were either different or if the target
did not exist. That way there would not be spurious file system
changes (from aide or other tools) for these files if there are no
actual changes.
Thank you for maintaining the package!
