The same was also docummented at
http://wiki.skolelinux.no/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/HowTo/Desktop
Anyway:
a) Package debianization is just awful
b) License is not clear to be DFSG compatible. debian/copyright says the
package is GPL, but at the code it has Adobe license[1]. It "seems" to
be free, a kind of BSD license, but I'm not an expert on the legal
stuff, so maybe somebody could add a better opinion. 

Maybe contacting people from http://www.revolutionlinux.com (they are
those at Quebec with 2.000 terminals under balanced LTSP servers) who
did the package is a good idea before including it in Debian Edu.
