[Bug 314637] Re: dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree deprecated in 2.6.28-4.9

Actually, this symptom is due to debian/{config,postinst} both being
*utterly* broken in behaviour.

In debian/postinst, after the plugin is downloaded and/or installed for
the first time, the debconf "httpget" variable is forcibly set to false,
which will fail the license agreement query, and hence, the reporter's
symptom is exhibited.

debian/config is utterly out of date, still uses md5sums, and attempts
to store an invalid/outdated directory into the debconf "local"
variable.

** Changed in: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree deprecated in 2.6.28-4.9
+ debian/{config,postinst} are both broken for dpkg-reconfigure
