I tend to agree with Daemonax. Perhaps a flash player is included by default to give a better "out of the box" experience, and Gnash is probably the better choice since development on Swfdec has stopped. However, I have the feeling most Trisquel users would know how to install either package using Synaptic. Trisquel users likely install their own system and should have some knowledge of the package manager. Searching for "flash" in Synaptic pulls up both Gnash and Swfdec.

Should the user have someone install Trisquel for them, they can ask the person installing the system, check the section in the Documentation section of the website which explains using either Gnash or Swfdec as alternatives to Adobe's flash player, or ask in the forum.

Personal note: I would hope that anyone installing an OS for someone else would spend some time going through the basics, which in GNU/Linus definitely includes the package manager.
