[Bug 326555] Re: Please package flashplugin 64bit

[Danny Piccirillo]

Here is my understanding of the issue:

We know that 64-bit Flash alplace and alpha 2 (alpha refresh) are more
stable than the 32-bit Flash, but that isn't the problem. We would make
an exception to include it in Ubuntu, but the current script can olny
download Flash from archive.canonical.com which cannot host non-final
software for other reasons. My impression was that we need permission
from Adobe, but i'm note sure what, "here is no official support from
adobe security wise" means, but i think that since this is the only read
thing impeding this, we should contact Adobe immediately to work around
this.

As far as other possible workarounds go, the old script that didn't take the file from archive.canonical and simply took it straight from Adobe ran into tons of errors so it would be unwise to go back to that method. I was, however, unaware of the link: 
http://packages.debian.org/sid/flashplugin-nonfree

If the 64-bit package there uses the latest native 64-bit Flash (alpha
2), could we use that with the script?
