Well, but flashplugin-nonfree at least make the users feel how painful nonfree software are to deal with. Quite a usefule feature if you ask me! More seriously there are at least two free attempts at a flash-plugin, gnash and swfdec, so it might better to keep the name flash-plugin as a virtual package name. Maybe macromedia-flash-installer ?
