Nit: it really isn't what Ubuntu releases.  It is what Adobe releases.
AIUI, Ubuntu is just a distribution vector, and trying to make sure that
what Ubuntu *does* control is compatible with what Adobe releases.  Are
you are viewing Flash as part of the Ubuntu release rather than as a
convenience package to install a widely used third party application?
Is there anything about the Ubuntu package that does anything other than
ensure that dependencies are met, and install the download from Adobe?

In which case, I hope that we won't be having this discussion in the
future.  It wasn't a matter of an hour or a day.
