Yes.

No need to.

I agree.

No need to.

The webserver sometimes returns different webpages, and I have already modified
get-upstream-version.pl to support two variants.  Maybe you have found a third
variant, but I don't know that before looking at the html source code of the
page get-upstream-version.pl was parsing at the time of the error.

I'm considering to modify get-upstream-version.pl to automatically save the
html page in /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/ so that it's available for further
investigation.
