I've reported a bug concerning the documentation problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608079 A README file is necessary, but with such a change alone, most users wouldn't be aware that updates / update notifications are not automatic. A warning in the package description won't change much (most users don't read the package description of all the packages they install). A warning in the postinst script would be better (together with some EULA warning).

I certainly don't want completely automatic installations. However such a script (and/or a script that just notifies the user about an update) could be either provided as an optional config file or given as an example (in the /usr/share/doc/flashplugin-nonfree/examples directory).
