Hi -
It looks like you're reporting this bug from a private workstation?
You should be able to make Flash work by installing the
flashplugin-nonfree package. It looks like you choose to install the
debathena-extra-software package - that's supposed to pull in
flashplugin-nonfree unless you explicitly punted it, so I'm not sure why
it's not installed. We'll look into it, but installing the package by
hand for now should fix it.
