Thank you for providing the SRUs! I have a question though before we
proceed, please be patient with me here: it feels to me that this
package will now remove/uninstall any already installed/downloaded flash
plugin, or is it just some configuration file? Since I see that `update-
pepperflashplugin-nonfree --uninstall` will now be ran instead of
`--install --fast`. I don't really know the history of flash (didn't use
it for ages now) so not sure when it stopped being available - and if
the existing binaries still work or not - but are there any ill
implications of that `--uninstall` happening? Like, could it be that
some people with already installed packages have still a working flash
plugin? Or is that not possible?

I just want to make sure that this update won't, by accident, disrupt
some existing weird workflows of people relying on having it around.
Since I'm +1 on no longer installing the plugin as it's not available
for download, but removing something that might have been already
installed on the users machine - well, for this I'd have to know if for
instance the plugin does not work anymore anyway.
