Ok, teward convinced me that indeed there seems to be no reason for us
having to wait the full 7-day verification period for this one (as it
can't really get much worse than the existing packages). So releasing it
early.

I verified the test case
- on groovy using pepperflashplugin-nonfree 1.8.8~ubuntu20.10.1 from
groovy-proposed
- on focal using pepperflashplugin-nonfree 1.8.8~ubuntu20.04.1 from
focal-proposed
- on bionic using pepperflashplugin-nonfree 1.8.8~ubuntu18.04.1 from
bionic-proposed
- on xenial
Maybe worth adding:
For the case somebody really would want to keep playing with the last
Flash plugins for some reason, both the NPAPI and PPAPI ones (for amd64
as well as i386) are available in this adobe-flashplugin tarball:

Hello feren, or anyone else affected,
Accepted pepperflashplugin-nonfree into groovy-proposed. The package
will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/1.8.8~ubuntu20.10.1 in a few hours, and then
in the -proposed repository.
Please help us
hm, I actually don't like the new version numbering - it is very
confusing. Since this is a straight backport of 1.8.8, suddenly using
1.8.7ubuntuX.Y.1 seems weird - this implies that this is based on 1.8.7,
which it is not (as the changelog entry only mentions a straight
backport). In such cases
Thank you for the backstory and additional information Gunnar, Thomas!

Łukasz:
Up until the EOL date, Flash provided copies of the PPAPI and NPAPI
plugins on their Flash Debug Downloads page. Since that date, all
versions of the plugins have been yanked (even in the archived
versions!) and only the standalone executables exist for the running of
Flash files.

available for download:
@Łukasz: Flash is dead since the year end. Adobe and the big browser
vendors have coordinated its EOL.
Possibly - I haven't bothered to investigate it that deep - there is a
use case where people want to keep the latest Flash plugin, do some
special configuration for the purpose, and use it
Thank you for providing the SRUs! I have a question though before we
proceed, please be patient with me here: it feels to me that this
package will now remove/uninstall any already installed/downloaded flash
plugin, or is it just some configuration file? Since I see that `update-
I did it the hard way - everything needs adjusted version strings if
we're pushing to multiple distros at once, otherwise dpkg and such barfs.

Thanks! Can you please sync to hirsute too?
As regards version, I was probably not clear. I meant:
debuild -S -v1.8.7
OTOH it doesn't matter much.

Version strings updated accordingly, and now all versions
(1.8.7ubuntuX.Y.1) are sitting in the respective proposed queues. This
now awaits the SRU team's actions.

Thanks Łukasz! As I wrote in the "Where problems could occur" section
above, I can't think of any adverse side effects.

Looking at this briefly, I'm trying to think if there's any other,
negative implications of such a change. Of course we want to keep stable
series as stable as possible, avoiding big changes without a good
reason, but to me it feels that right now the package as-is is anyway a
no-op and only holds
In the light of Thomas' hesitation expressed in comment #4, can some
member of the SRU team please give your advance notice whether the way
proposed above to kill the functionality of the broken

@Thomas: Fair enough. I realize that this is a bit beyond the normal
procedure for SRUs. OTOH it's carefully considered.
Please let's do that on Monday at the latest, since it's a matter of
some urgency. (Ideally it should have reached the users on New Year's
Day.)

I'd like to talk to the SRU team before anyone sponsors this - this type
of behavior is something I would want approved before anyone puts it

It's worth noting that this DOES NOT result in a failed install - it
merely makes installation take forever to do.
