[Bug 1871471] Re: flash end of life soon, suggest remove from hirsute

[jeremyszu]

Hi,

I aware the adobe is not longer support since this year.
but the postinst[1] is still trying to get something from remote server.

as
```
upstream=$(HOME=/root wget -q -O- "https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/webservices/json/?platform_type=Linux&platform_arch=$arch&browser_dist=Chrome"...)
```

and it will take 4 hours to wait for the response.
