Wow, what a lot of fuss :D  I hesitate to add more to this thread, but
after scanning briefly the comments here, I haven't noticed anybody put
forward the following perspective:

Putting aside the issues of the md5sum & failure of the package
management system to recognise that the plugin was not installed (since
those are clear-cut), the problem has to do with properly representing
package relationships such that the package management system can deal
with the Konqueror issue.  To my mind at least, the only 'correct' fix
(prior to resolution of the XEmbed issue in Konqueror) is to make
flashplugin-nonfree a meta-package depending on one or the other of two
separate binary packages for the two versions of the flash plugin, the
newest of which conflicts with the konqueror package?

PS: I don't agree with the sentiment that the best solution is the one
that satisfies the most people in the shortest time - that attitude
belongs with the proprietary model of software development and should
stay there.  This is supposed to be a community, not a mobocracy ;)
