Public bug reported:

There is freshplayerplugin compatibility software which helps NPAPI-
compatible browsers to load PPAPI Flash. Since PPAPI plugins have no
embedded version reporting like NPAPI plugins do, version is stored
outside, in a file named manifest.json. Freshplayerplugin needs that
file to report version to a browser (say, Firefox).

Please, include manifest.json file in binary packages.

I've tried to take adobe-flashplugin_20151110.1-0xenial1 as a starting
point, and found that the following change is enough:

Although I've tested package creation only on amd64, I think i386 should
be fine too.
