Comment:
hm... 
there is no package flash-player in main/universe/multiverse.

However the following packages provide flash plugins to the mozilla browser
family:

1) flashplayer-mozilla
2) flashplugin-nonfree
3) libflash-mozplugin

Having both installed 1) and 2), firefox seemed to choose the first installed
package for handling swf content.
The problem arises however after removing 1),
because firefox couldn't handle swf content any longer.
This might be related to
updates to the mozilla-firefox chrome registry handled in postinst.
