You've tested that gnash works with this particular Flash program? Yeah, sure I did. However I have no preferences for flash As the maintainer of mtasc in Debian my preference is for Flash to die. mtasc is dead upstream. Adobe is abandoning Flash and so are web devs. Now is the time for anyone still using Flash to run away as fast as possible. May I suggest that you a) inform your reverse build-dependencies of the current situation b) ask for mtasc's removal from Debian That would allow people like me to focus on other release critical issues instead of flogging a dead horse. I suggest to stick with the current solution and let the user decide. I would appreciate it if you would reconsider supporting the proprietary Flash platform. There is nothing wrong with my solution since mtasc, gnash and freemind are free software. But I am confident that I won't choose the same solution twice in the future.
