I've had a few gnash bugs and it appears that automatix is installing
gnash for them. I guess we can expect more of these and for people to
not necessarily know that they've installed it.

Ideally I think they should be told to submit it to the gnash bug
tracker, or generally upstream. I think if we tell them that we don't
want it and don't give them another option they just won't submit it
anywhere.
