I followed little help's suggestion to create the link, then downloaded the Flash Player 10 .tar.gz file instead of using the .deb install. I chose the "install from terminal" option, which gave me this bit of probably vital information: you need to close all open browsers while you do the install (I hadn't done that on the 32 previous tries ;-) ). It worked that time.
