The check for updates
 update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status
checks an apparently hand-made file on people.d.o and not the real upstream.

As a consequence, as of right now, the former claims
"Flash Player version available on upstream site: 14.0.0.177"
while the actual upstream at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
suggests 15.0.0.152 for Linux+Chrome+Pepper.

Flash is probably one of the things where delaying updates because manual interaction is needed can be very bad. Even if that manual interaction is required (e.g. for validating checksums), the update script should clearly warn that there is a newer version and perhaps even suggest to de-install the current one.

Thanks.
