[Bug 654581] [NEW] gnash clobbers flashplugin-installer in alternatives system

[hhaamu]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnash

This is either a bug for flashplugin-installer or gnash; I don't know
which.

On every (flashplugin-installer) package update, my "alternatives"
selections get overwritten into auto mode, which selects gnash.

$ update-alternatives --get-selections|fgrep flash
firefox-flashplugin            manual   /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
iceape-flashplugin             manual   /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
iceweasel-flashplugin          manual   /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
midbrowser-flashplugin         manual   /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
mozilla-flashplugin            manual   /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
xulrunner-addons-flashplugin   manual   /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
xulrunner-flashplugin          manual   /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

After update (simulated output):
$ update-alternatives --get-selections|fgrep flash
firefox-flashplugin            auto     /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
iceape-flashplugin             auto     /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
iceweasel-flashplugin          auto     /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
midbrowser-flashplugin         auto     /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
mozilla-flashplugin            auto     /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
xulrunner-addons-flashplugin   auto     /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
xulrunner-flashplugin          auto     /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so

Given the frequency of flash updates, this is rather annoying to fix
every time.
