as has already been mentioned, just grab the tarball and install itWhy are you all making such a big deal of this? If you're using
yourself.
But, you have reminded me... the release went final but the debian
package hasn't been updated so it 1) can't find the file for download
and 2) if you manually download it and rename it, it can't install
because the md5 sum doesn't match... I'm off to check the bug reports
and file one if needed.

IceWeasel, all you have to do it hit any webpage that uses flash
(http://distrowatch.com for example) and click on the install missing
plugin icon. It will install Flash 9.0... at least it did for me.
because if someone wants to set up a shiny new etch machine for
mom/wife*/kid/whoever they want to install as much of that stuff as
possible up front to minimise later "help-desk" calls. And if
installing flash doesn't work out the door, then they have to jump
through more hoops to make it work. Not to mention -- debian rocks and
we hate to see anything tarnish its reputation! :)

I can understand that. I have all of the above, and yes have to answer
help desk calls. I wish I had installed Debian on my mother-in-law's
box because I had to spend an hour with her on the phone to walk her
through installing an update to her anti-virus package on Windows.
