Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:3.2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Each flash update, we can't update our flash player, and we must wait you
update the checksum. Last update took 2 weeks, this is unacceptable for an
important package like that. The update before took 1 week if I remember.
We are all vulnerable between this time. We don't have to wait 2 weeks to apply
a security patch to iceweasel, the same principle should apply here.
Updating the checksum is not a solution. Again, the same problem happen to
update from 350 to 356, must all the users have to be vulnerable for weeks
until you have the time to update the checksum?
Thank you.
