Bug description:
  Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 alpha 5 x86_64

  The amd64 flash plugin and nspluginwrapper didn't bind to firefox 3 properly upon installation. I can't see any flash content:
  http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

  Maybe it's the use of /usr/lib/ directory instead of /var/lib/ ?
  I know how to do it manually:
  sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so  /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
  nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
  ..but this wasn't necessary for Gutsy 7.10.
