gnash clobbers flashplugin-installer in alternatives system

[hhaamu]

Binary package hint: gnash

This is either a bug for flashplugin-installer or gnash; I don't know which.

On every (flashplugin-installer) package update, my "alternatives" selections get overwritten into auto mode, which selects gnash.

$ update-alternatives --get-selections|fgrep flash
firefox-flashplugin manual /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
iceape-flashplugin manual /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
iceweasel-flashplugin manual /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
midbrowser-flashplugin manual /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
mozilla-flashplugin manual /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
xulrunner-addons-flashplugin manual /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
xulrunner-flashplugin manual /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

After update (simulated output):
$ update-alternatives --get-selections|fgrep flash
firefox-flashplugin auto /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
iceape-flashplugin auto /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
iceweasel-flashplugin auto /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
midbrowser-flashplugin auto /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
mozilla-flashplugin auto /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
xulrunner-addons-flashplugin auto /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
xulrunner-flashplugin auto /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so

Given the frequency of flash updates, this is rather annoying to fix every time.
