Chris Coulson has just done that for adobe-flashplugin. So now we
provide dummies in hirsute, all the supported releases, and also trusty
and precise.
Also flashplugin-installer is now a dummie in focal, bionic and xenial.
Please consider to do the same for at least pepperflashplugin-nonfree
instead of just dropping it from hirsute.

Bug description:
Hello, Adobe has said they will not be supporting Flash beyond 2020:
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/flash-format-support-in-pdf.html
https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/
I think we shouldn't ship Flash in hirsute. Does our agreement with
Adobe for distributing Flash installers or code allow us to skip
shipping Flash in hirsute?
Thanks
