Ahh, you don't have the right deb-src entries in /etc/apt/sources.list  To 
make them, you can just edit that file, and copy the deb lines, changing the 
copy with an extra four characters so that you have the original deb ... line 
and a deb-src ... line.

So, if you have:

deb http://ubuntu.org breezy

then you would want:

deb http://ubuntu.org breezy
deb-src http://ubuntu.org breezy


But if the flashplayer-mozilla package fixed your problem, you don't *need* to 
bother :)
