Hi!

As opposed to usual Debian packages, when the flashplugin-nonfree
package is installed and up-to-date, this does not imply that the
installed flash plugin is up-to-date.  Given the strong security
implications due to the high exposure of the plugin, it is very
important that all users of the package are aware of that updates of the
plugin are not automatic.  Now, I just learned this, and I really don't
think it is completely obvious.

So I think it would be a good idea to document it, for example by adding
an appropriate README.Debian, pointing the user to the
update-flashplugin-nonfree script.  I also think a short warning in the
package description would be appropriate.

Thanks and HAND,
Nikolaus
