Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
This package creates a directory (flashplugin-nonfree-unpackdir) for
downloading, storing and unpacking the tarball
from upstream during postinst. This directory shoudn't be located in /usr/lib
as it isn't the final destination of
the plugin files. This breaks FHS.
The included fix moves this directory to /var/cache.
