Actually I've just tested the installation of the latest Natty daily
build and Flash is indeed installed when the option displayed in the
OP's screenshot is checked. The unfortunate wording of the associated
text is still a problem, so I'm going to adjust the description and
title accordingly.

Binary package hint: ubiquity
The para before the third party option is very misleading and confusing.
- It mentions "software to display Flash" , "other media"(?) , "wireless
hardware" ..
- and then later the install option is "Install *this* third-party software"
which *only* references the Fluendo MP3 plugin. why not just mention the name?
- Why are we referencing the other media, flash,wireless options when we dont
install those?

And reference to wireless might be unnecessary if the desktop does not have
any wireless cards.
It's better to reword para appropriately to just mention an intro about
third-party and closed source nature of those packages.
