Dennis, you did not mean this -- did you?

Apart from that it's about the most obscure way to remove the
libflashsupport package one can imagine, you loose libflashsupport's
functionality, which is essential to work around Flash's broken-ness in
using ALSA/PulseAudio to play sound.

My advice would be to use nspluginwrapper, so that Firefox does not
suffer from Flash crashes.
