I posted a package development plan to debian-amd64 not long ago outlining
my intentions for nspluginwrapper on Debian over the coming versions.
1.0.0-2 will have a drastically slimmed down npconfig tool.

1.0.0-3 will be the beginning of the split package, and one of the intended
features is to use nspluginwrapper as a sandbox for plugins to live (and
die) in, which should cover your request.

I really think the slimmed down npconfig is needed for 1.0.0-2, and moreover
1.0.0-3 as it's very specific where it wants to install plugin wrapper
stubs. Hopefully then I can liase with other plugin packagers to use it as a
sandbox.

What concerns me a little is that some people (notably thin client users)
have reported issues running plugins across xdmcp sessions. I shall have to
investigate this before suggesting more widespread usage.

Furthermore, nspluginwrapper is in contrib right now. For packages in main
to use this, I think it's "policy" to move such a dependancy
(nspluginwrapper) into main before this can happen. Whether or not this will
be easy, I don't yet know!

Bart, I think this is possibly a good idea. Personally, I only have an i386
laptop so for testing package changes on the move (I have three amd64
environments at home for wrapper checks). Flash runs happily enough, but
I want to ensure that the thin client issue is completely resolved first.
