My test case :

- adobe-flashplugin is already installed

Using synaptic I want to install :

- browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash

which recommends pepperflashplugin-nonfree.

This last one seems useless as flash for chromium has already been
installed through adobe-flashplugin.

So I only installed browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash (without
pepperflashplugin-nonfree) and Firefox shows « You have version
21,0,0,213 installed » on the page
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and « Shockwave Flash 13.1 r2
» in plugins.

I may be wrong but I think pepperflashplugin-nonfree does not update
automatically* so it looks less safe than adobe-flashplugin.

*one has to periodically run
update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install
to keep it safe.
