Sudhanshu-
We might be taking about different problems, the bug I ran into was that 
flashplugin-nonfree wasn't installed at all. Then, when firefox asked to 
install it, the installer bombed out because of a bug (I think because when I 
installed, I didn't have an internet connection, so there were no repositories 
configured that had flashplugin-nonfree (many were commented out)). However, 
firefox misread the installer return value and said the installation was 
successful when it actually failed.

Your method will work fine, but there might be problems down the line if
another program tries to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree. I don't know if
the install script is smart enough to remove the old libraries before
installing. If so, you might run into conflicts.
