With more than one active flash player plugin, you don't know which one handles .swf files. update-alternatives lets you have only one active at a time, which you can select with $ sudo update-alternatives --config flash-mozilla.so > I know that update-alternatives is the "correct" way to do it, but since the > install script for plugin-browser-gnash didn't take care of it, I had to > improvise :^) You didn't. browser-plugin-gnash correctly configured update-alternatives links, you just didn't use them.

That simply doesn't follow Debian way. Remove all links you created and command above will do the job. In case you don't, you'd have to disable all but one through about:plugins page. You might want to try browser-plugin-lightspark as well. See http://wiki.gnashdev.org/FAQ#What_should_gnash_play.3F
