Bug Description

adobe-flashplugin installs flash 11 now. The control file still describes it as flash 10, and states that it downloads the player from adobe. This description is inaccurate, as the adobe-flashplugin doesn't download the player like flashplugin-installer does. Also, the flash-properties packages share the exact same description. They should be updated to describe what the flash-properties packages actually do.

Also, the dependencies for adobe-flashplugin are inaccurate. It depends on wget, which is only needed by flashplugin-installer, not adobe-flashplugin.

I could create a debdiff for this if it would help, but I think the descriptions could be better written by the actual maintainers of the package.
