Very true. (although I haven't had flash "always" breaking before)
You shouldn't poke these files manually. If you must work outside package
manager (again, not the best idea) it's better to keep the changes out of the
system files and contain them in user directory.
For flash it
I should have mentioned that anything that uses apt for installation,
like apt-get or aptitude or synaptic or even the "software centre"
downloads the debs into /var/cache/apt/archives. So all you need do to
keep a copy of a package deb is to make a dir to hold your stuff e.g.
sudo mkdir -p /usr/l
@J11 just for future reference, flash is always breaking in lunux so
make sure you always keep a copy deb of the last known working version.
Manually installing the way you suggest certainly works, but it is a
very bad idea. You would be better making a .deb yourself.
Or ... you could ditch libvdp
I installed an old version of flash player to keep using flash content until
adobe releases a new version that works.
I did this manually since repository doesn't have older versions and I couldn't
use Synaptic's force version option.
This is what I did (on Ubuntu Precise 32bit):

I've discovered if you ditch libvdpau1 it works again. So the conflict
seems to be with vdpau.
But if you want mplayer or mplayer2 you are out of luck, cos both need
libvdpau1 to run, and both have libvdpau1 as a formal dependency. And
things like smplayer, gnome-mplayer &etc all depend on mplayer
After the update flash is totally messed up. Any flash vid or app is either
just a black box or doesn't show up at all.
Also can't reinstall the "old" plugin version because of

To manage not
On my machine Firefox doesn't freeze but all I get is a black box instead of
flash video. I tried to change the file permissions and copy the
libflashplayer.so file to all possible locations I know and see if that does
anything but all I got was plugin-container hanging.
Locations I tried were:
