Message-ID<AxHPs-17h-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

As per Adobe Flash Player EOL [1] flash player is going end of life by
end of this year. Similar statements are linked from that article by
Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla.

Currently browsers in Debian have already dropped NPAPI and the
package itself fails to build from source. [2] [3]

The time has come to kill Flash and remove this package from the archive.
