Proposed patch: "tasksel-proposed-6.0.4.patch" It moves "gnash" from "desktop" to "gnome-desktop", so it has least effect on Debian-as-a-whole.
Effects: A. Effects on Debian: 1. should be zero. Should not affect installation media. B. Effects on GNOME desktop: None. 1. People will have YouTube (as in 6.0.3) 2. People will not have access to Google Finance (as in 6.0.3) C. Effects on KDE and other desktops: 1. no KDE konqueror crashes by default 2. People will have access to Google Finance (static version) 3. People will need to install some kind of flash plugin manually to watch YouTube (no WebM support in Squeeze) It turns out, that "gnome" package has dependency on "gnash", so I will not go deep into this. It's up to the gnome people to look into this -- I left gnome as-is, unchanged. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"
