Bug description:
  Hello,

  with the release of Flash plugin 11, there is now a native 64 bit version avaiable for Linux:
  http://eon.businesswire.com/news/eon/20110920007364/en/Adobe-Flash-Player/Adobe-AIR/Flash-Player-11

  flashplugin-installer seems to have updated to version 11 in Oneric,
  but still the i386 version of libflashplayer.so gets installed (with
  nspluginwrapper). Since the i386 version can sometimes be buggy under
  amd64 (own experiences), I suggest switching to the finally avaiably
  native version on amd64.

  Kind regards,
  Jan
