Can I make a suggestion:
The flashplugin installer package should use a script instead of wget.
The script should dig the proxy setting out of the synaptic preferences
file, set http_proxy, then exec wget $*
This is essentially what I've hacked into my system using a redirect
script for wget, except that my script just has a hard-coded proxy.
Unfortunately the hack disappears every time a new version of wget
appears.
And unfortunately now wget doesn't work for internal servers that aren't
proxied, so I have to remember to use wget-original instead.
So it isn't ideal :-(
