Ok, I found out that Canonical Partners need to be enabled to install
adobe-flashplugin

For future reference:

System Settings -> Software and Updates -> Other Software tab -> enable
Canonical Partners

Not a bug but very annoying nonetheless. Maybe we could raise a warning
when suggesting packages that are not in the default repositories.
