Bug Description

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

The default dependency tree of flashplugin-nonfree does not permit all Flash videos to play. It works for sites like YouTube, but www.ted.com and www.thedailyshow.com seem to require the recommended package lib32nss-mdns. I'm not sure why this is, but installing this package allows the videos on this site to play correctly; conversely, removing this single package breaks the playback again. I would suggest modifying the ia32-libs package to include lib32nss-mdns as a dependency instead of a recommended package.

I forgot to mention that I'm running Hoary on amd64.
