Sorry it took so long to respond.  I just started a new job, and my time is
a bit tighter now.

Well, now I _really_ don't see the point in investing a lot of effort in
fighting the Adobe build system.  So my opinion is that we should either
put the flex-sdk package as is into non-free or contrib, or just wait until
Apache reorganizes it into something friendlier.
