The following packages have been kept back:
  flashplugin-nonfree
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

update-manager tries to update the package and all of its dependencies.

(Just to clarify: I'm using a custom flash-package for 64bit, but
update-manager wants to install the original including ia32-libs and
nspluginwrapper.)
