I think the reason flashplugin-nonfree was build like that is its
license issues. Since the original package is adobe's copyright the deb
package at the time of installation downloads the plugin from adobe's
site.

Ahmed is it because the launchpad gives limited space to the ubumtume
repository that you prefer the idea of downloading the audio files
separately or is there any other reason?

Since I know some people do not have permanent access to the high speed
internet they may download the recitation deb packages once they have
access to the internet and try to install them later. Because of this
issue I am more willing to build deb packages which contain audio files
and upload them to the sourceforge. 
But downloading from a repository is a different story, so we can have
two kinds of deb packages those containing the audio files and are
downloadable from the sourceforge and those which are like
flashplugin-nonfree and are downloadable from the repositories.

any idea?

Best,
Mohammad
