I'd say it's a bug on how flashplugin-nonfree interacts with alternatives, I
believe that it is not calling update-alternatives the right way. When we
added alternatives to swfdec and gnash we tested it installing and removal
without any problem, so I'd say it is not swfdec's fault.

For what I see, it has two ways of calling update-alternatives and choosing
one or the other depends on this:

if [ -e /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so ] &&
[ -e /usr/bin/nspluginwrapper ] 

I think that it may be calling update-alternatives for removal the wrong
way and thus I'm assigning the bug to flashplugin-nonfree.
