This would be ideal. At the very least, though, it seems like the
package does the exact wrong thing: on my system, I installed it from
firefox, and the package installed, and silently failed. Removing it
and installing it from the command line told me that flash didn't
install (because of the bad md5 sum), but the .deb *did* install. If
the md5 fails, the whole install should fail.
