Moving the work to support an existing divergence from one distro to another doesn't remove the divergence. To encourage removing divergences the work to support existing divergences should be kept close to where the divergences can be removed. The real divergence is in chromium, and it affects pepperflashplugin-nonfree. There might be some room for debate on which distro caused the divergence in chromium and which distro can remove the divergence. I see less room for debate on where Ubuntu specific customizations of pepperflashplugin-nonfree should be maintained. > > Anyway, it is your decision True, although I'm always open for ideas that might make Debian and its derivatives better. > and it is absolutely right from Debian > point of view.

Well, it's Ubuntu's choice to regularly copy the package from Debian, and to customize it for Ubuntu. :-) > > P.S.
