Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 alpha 5 x86_64
The amd64 flash plugin and nspluginwrapper didn't bind to firefox 3 properly upon installation. I can't see any flash content:

Maybe it's the use of /usr/lib/ directory instead of /var/lib/ ?
I know how to do it manually:
sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
..but this wasn't necessary for Gutsy 7.10.
