[Bug 1723679] [NEW] rephrase update message about adding or updating Flash

During an update to Ubuntu 2016.04.2 desktop amd64, a message said that
it was adding or updating Adobe Flash. I don't have the exact wording.
After an extensive forum discussion
(https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2372341&p=13689880 (as
accessed 10-13-17)), it turns out that Flash never arrived on my
machine. I didn't want it, so I'm glad, but I suggest a more precise
wording in your message about updating would have reduced concern about
unwanted software being added. For example, if it had said something
like, "If you have Flash, we will update it. If you don't have it, we'll
ask if you want it." Since Flash risks security, the latter message
would have been more reassuring.
