Since Adobe Flash Player is officially no longer available or end of life, they seem to have made a redirect to a link, that pepperflashplugin-nonfree likely uses for obtaining Flash, to the 'End of Life' page of the Flash website. This means that when installing pepperflashplugin-nonfree from now on, it'll keep trying to download the HTML file for the end-of-life page.
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Newly installed pepperflashplugin-nonfree - 1.8.6ubuntu1
Someone should probably update this package to, instead of trying in vain to download Flash, show a notice saying Flash has reached end-of-life and so this package is no longer available. Packages like Opera from the official Opera repository still depend on this package, currently.

[Impact]
Since Adobe Flash Player is officially no longer available or end of life, they seem to have made a redirect to a link, that pepperflashplugin-nonfree likely uses for obtaining Flash, to the 'End of Life' page of the Flash website. This means that when installing pepperflashplugin-nonfree from now on it'll keep trying to download the HTML file for the end-of-life page.
The proposed uploads are plain no-change SRU backports of the dummy package in hirsute sync'ed from Debian. With that we prevent more users from stalling their package system by trying to install or update pepperflash.
[Test Case]
* Install pepperflashplugin-nonfree from
{groovy,focal,bionic,xenial}-proposed
* Confirm that it installs successfully without causing any issues
with the package system.
* Run the update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree command and see the EOL
notice.
[Where problems could occur]
We replace an obsolete package which creates issues with a dummy. The upgrade removes a config file in /etc, and the download and install functionality is not present in the new version. TBH I can't think of anything special.
