[Bug 1723679] Re: rephrase update message about adding or updating Flash

[Nick]

I accepted your offered alternative to the package I identified because
you say the package I identified is not part of Ubuntu, but the list of
packages (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage (as accessed
10-16-17)) lists it unless I misunderstand your version numbering.

** Package changed: ubuntu => ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)

Title:
  rephrase update message about adding or updating Flash

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  During an update to Ubuntu 2016.04.2 desktop amd64, a message said
  that it was adding or updating Adobe Flash. I don't have the exact
  wording. After an extensive forum discussion
  (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2372341&p=13689880 (as
  accessed 10-13-17)), it turns out that Flash never arrived on my
  machine. I didn't want it, so I'm glad, but I suggest a more precise
  wording in your message about updating would have reduced concern
  about unwanted software being added. For example, if it had said
  something like, "If you have Flash, we will update it. If you don't
  have it, we'll ask if you want it." Since Flash risks security, the
  latter message would have been more reassuring.
