Hi,

I aware the adobe is not longer support since this year.
but the postinst[1] is still trying to get something from remote server.

as
```
upstream=$(HOME=/root wget -q -O- 
"https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/webservices/json/?platform_type=Linux&platform_arch=$arch&browser_dist=Chrome";...)
```

and it will take 4 hours to wait for the response.

Bug description:
  Hello, Adobe has said they will not be supporting Flash beyond 2020:

  https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/flash-format-support-in-pdf.html
  https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/

  I think we shouldn't ship Flash in hirsute. Does our agreement with
  Adobe for distributing Flash installers or code allow us to skip
  shipping Flash in hirsute?

  Thanks
