Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-
The description reads:
Installing this package will pull in support for MP3 playback and decoding,
support for various other audio formats (gstreamer plugins), Microsoft fonts,
Java runtime environment, Flash plugin, LAME (to create compressed audio files),
and DVD playback.
The bug is that Flash is not installed, because it's not a dependancy. I'm not sure what the best solution is:
1 - remove Flash from the description
2 - add Flash to dependencies
The problem with the second solution is wheter to use gnash or flashplugin-nonfree

Flash is a recommended dependency of it (like all the others), so actually it should be installed.
