The flawed rationale was to have up-to-date plugins for home-folder
installations of firefox, but I did not search the dpkg database to ensure that
it was used by any other packages besides adobe-flashplugin. To be clear,
adobe-flashplugin creates the folder, which I replaced with a symlink, but
gecko-mediaplayer also creates that folder.

As a side note, as an alternative to downgrading dpkg, I can simply remove the
symlink, upgrade the package, and then again overwrite the folder with a
symlink, assuming gecko-mediaplayer continues with a folder in the future.

Thanks for your help, Jonathan!
