It's irrelevant what's inside the tar.gz, since all major distros, including the official Ubuntu repositories used by Ubuntu Studio, do provide the last version of Adobe's flash player. "NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux." - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ However the tar.gz doesn't include a .deb, it would be nonsense to pack a .deb, but its contend mainly is the libflashplayer.so and a readme file. There are different things you can do with this lib. If somebody don't understand what to do with the lib and .deb wouldn't be available, than alien likely could make a .deb from the provided .rpm. "9/10/2013 – [snip] The latest versions are 11.8.800.174 (Win IE), 11.8.800.168 (Win non-IE), 11.8.800.168 (Mac) and 11.2.202.310 (Linux). All users are encouraged to update to these latest versions." - http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html Even with the Linux flash player installed, websites likely will nag that you should downlaod current version of flash. Again, use Chrome instead or another alternative would be to run Windows browsers using wine or a virtual machine with a Windows guest. The best thing to do, is to ignore home pages that need flash player for flashy effects or to play videos with advertisements and/or proprietary codecs, all the rest, e.g. playing YouTube videos, can be done with HTML5.
