Well, it's not terribly satisfactory for people who are upgrading from
Squeeze. How will they discover that they have to remove this package to
get working Flash?

I spent like one hour to identify the culprit... and I'm not the average
user.

I think it's better to move the .so away and add the update-alternatives
registration, rather than spend the same time documenting the issue in
the release notes.
