[Bug 815118] [NEW] Fail when installing afobe flash on amd64

[tsh]

Public bug reported:

I try to install adobe flash from Adobe's website. The APT install is
intercepted by Ubuntu software centre, but that then tells me that
'there isn't a current software package called "Adobe flashplugin" in
your current software sources.'

Clearly, I should be trying to install the correct 64 bit beta version
instead, but USC isn't helping to make this any more obvious. The reason
I am installing it is that Chrome doesn't seem to have flash working any
more after my recent upgrade.
