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

[Nick]

Correction: While this website's list of packages identified ubuntu-
release-upgrader-core as the likeliest package for this report,
reporting that package was refused by the website, preferring ubuntu-
release-upgrader, all this was on 2017-10-16, and I had the version
numbering right. I don't know enough to figure out which package or
package name it should be. Thanks.

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.
