@Stéphane: Yeah, my suggestion to "drop it somehow" implies that there is a need for some considerations; for instance there is bug #1544409. Ideally you would make pepperflashplugin-nonfree a dummy transitional package which depends on adobe-flashplugin, but since the latter resides in Canonical Partner, which is not enabled by default, it's probably not that easy.

As regards Firefox (pepperflashplugin-nonfree has never been meant for Firefox) Adobe will indeed provide an up-to-date version of the NPAPI plugin soon. Currently I'm making a modified version of adobe-flashplugin, with Flash Player 23 Beta, available in this PPA:
