Not exactly an answer, but why don't you install
flashplayer-mozilla_7.0.61.0-0.1_i386.deb from ftp.nerim.net. That sets
up things correctly.
Not at all the answer I wanted but still much appreciated. After
removing "flashplugin-nonfree", which conflicted, that works perfectly.
I'd love to understand why the debian system method doesn't work though.
Clearly it'd be nicer to have a script you can run occasionally that
checks for and installs updated plugins with little interaction. The
output message above from the update-flashplugin script suggests it's
decided there's already a flash player installed, but this is a newly
built machine with virtually nothing done to it yet except a newly built
kernel, X and WindowMaker.
Thanks again.
