Daniel, are you sure that my bug is really a duplicate of bug #138853?
To me it seems wrong. I have successfully installed (patched) package
and it configures fine, the problem is actually with dpkg-reconfigure.
Directory /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree gets deleted in prerm, but then
it is _not_created_ again (so install fails). The quick fix is as
follows:

diff -Nru /tmp/9lx1ZzfUtl/flashplugin-nonfree-9.0.48.0.0ubuntu9/debian/prerm 
/tmp/JnS0N6r0fq/flashplugin-nonfree-9.0.48.0.0ubuntu9dragonfox2/debian/prerm

                rm -f /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplayer.xpt

But I'm not sure if it's the right way. I don't understand where
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree is actually created in the first place! x_x
