UVF exception request for flashplugin-nonfree

Hi !

I would you like than you considered a UVF exception for
flashplugin-nonfree.

Currently the package is completely broken and unusable. It can't
download the plugin and so doesn't do anything useful. [1] 

This bug was recently fixed in Debian in the 7.0.61-3 version (maybe
before, i just tested this one). It's not a trivial change: all the
script was rewritten in bash but so the very buggy [2] ruby script is at
least dropped. 

I know than it's very late for this kind of change but i think we don't
have anything to lose.  IMHO, it's better to have a package than seems
to work than one we're sure it doesn't. :)

In attachement the diff between the two packages; see also the Debian
ChangeLog [3].

Thanks!

	G.
