I believe a stable adobe 64 bit flash player for linux has only been
around a short time. I have been running 64 bit linux for over a year
and the only alternative earlier was the wrapper or at best unstable
beta versions. It was not so much Canonical insisting on it, it was
that it was the only solution v.s. nothing. Even for Jaunty.

I suspect if it proves stable, Karmic would include it and you should
make an effort to insure it is included in Karmic (i.e. you've tested
and it is stable - which it might not be in all installs).

Even now I have to do 32 bit for other multimedia stuff (mplayer in medibuntu).
