Seems that:
http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/
doesn't have the 64 bit version.

I suppose you could try the 64-bit Alpha if you feel adventurous:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes_64bit.html
<http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html>
<http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz>
<http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/05/01/how-to-install-flash-64-bit-on-ubuntu-jaunty-904/>
Note: if you use the last, be sure to modify to the above
libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz version.

What the heck, give it a try; it can't be much worse that the existing
32 bit using npwrapper.

Is that a 32-bit or 64-bit level? Try pinging it :-)
