[Bug 1527426] Re: Merge pepperflashplugin-nonfree (1.8.2) from Debian unstable (contrib)

[Timo Jyrinki]

Thanks Mitsuya for the debdiff, it indeed seems to apply the critical
bug fix from Debian bug report while also keeping the Ubuntu delta
intact. I checked both the debdiff between current Ubuntu and Debian
versions and the additional debdiff to include to bugfix, and they are
both rather small as is the whole package. 1.8.2ubuntu1 is now
sponsored!

I'm sure users will appreciate this.

  pepperflashplugin-nonfree (1.8) unstable; urgency=medium

    * Removed support for /etc/chromium/default.  Closes: #760388.
      + etc-chromium-default.txt: Removed.
      + debian/etc/chromium.d/pepperflashplugin-nonfree: Added.
      + debian/dirs: Added etc/chromium.d/.
      + debian/install: add file in etc/chromium.d/.
      + update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree: Removed dealing with
        /etc/chromium/default and /etc/chromium.d.
      + debian/control: Conflicts: chromium (<< 37.0.2062.120-4).  This package
        doesn't really conflict with these old versions of chromium, but it makes
        explicit that pepperflashplugin-nonfree isn't useful for versions of
        chromium still using /etc/chromium/default, as agreed on debian-release
        on Sun, 12 Oct 2014 15:38:03 +0200.
