When doing that, remember flash-plugin nonfree is actually a script that
goes out and fetches the actual Flash capability (and sets it up). So
installing that package won't actually enable Flash.

Similar situation with DVD playback, same situation with Broadcom
firmware, msttcorefonts, etc., not so with codecs.

Cheers,

Fabian
