Hi ! I would you like than you considered a UVF exception for flashplugin-nonfree.
Currently the package is completely broken and unusable. It can't download the plugin and so doesn't do anything useful. [1] This bug was recently fixed in Debian in the 7.0.61-3 version (maybe before, i just tested this one). It's not a trivial change: all the script was rewritten in bash but so the very buggy [2] ruby script is at least dropped. I know than it's very late for this kind of change but i think we don't have anything to lose. IMHO, it's better to have a package than seems to work than one we're sure it doesn't. :) In attachement the diff between the two packages; see also the Debian ChangeLog [3]. Thanks! G.
