I see little chance doing more than point to contrib if we want to do it the Debian way. > Please help the free flash implementation to improve by testing flash > apps using them, and report back problems to the authors. I just tested libflash-mozplugin (GPL Flash (SWF) Library) version 0.4.11-2 (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/libflash-mozplugin). It's not half bad, though I think it will probably never be 100% compatible to a product that does not use an open standard. I guess the real issue with this software at the moment is not the displaying of flash movies (it does that about right), but that it makes your browser crash a lot :-( Anyhow, I'm keeping an Eye on it and will tell you, if I see improvements.
