Under current circumstances at least, losing Adobe Flash Player from a Debian desktop system is a big deal because of the loss of YouTube because, as I understand it, the free Flash players don't work with YouTube.
Can you please elucidate on why Lenny will not have this package? Will there be a free alternative that will work enough? (I appreciate that 'enough' is vague) I'd just appreciate knowing what's going on, thanks. I understand this package must be problematic for Debian Stable because it downloads a static package name whose contents change and so this package breaks when Adobe's player is updated. Has anyone asked Adobe if they'll give their packages a version-specific filename and leave old versions on their server? Pete Boyd
