@Alistair - I've just checked this on Ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 64bit. Uname is Linux 3.0.0-11-generic x86_64. I do not have the canonical-partners repository enabled (the default). When following the steps in the first sentence of this bug's original description I only see one flash icon and subtitle (Adobe Flash plugin), even if I click "See 7 more results". This most closely resembles the first icon (on the left) in your screenshot (Adobe Flash plug-in). I do not see the second icon (on the right) in your screenshot (Adobe Flash Plugin 10).

@ Omer - What causes the canonical-partners repository to become enabled? Does the user have to set it manually in Software Sources? Or can installing certain packages from the Software Centre enable it? When it is enabled, can we expose any additional information to the user to assist them to differentiate the two Flash packages and guide them as to which one to install? I presume installing both simultaneously will not be good.
