My bad, I used outdated info. I didn't even known about
adobe-flashplugin, I'm using flashplugin-nonfree from multiverse, which
downloads and installs from adobe.com.

Well, seamonkey is in universe, which provides no guarantees.

Anyway, I did not mean to imply that the repos are always perfect, but
they are much more likely to update packages than I am to regularly
check flash vulnerabilities and update manually.
