I went the route of installing the "flashplugin-installer" using 
synaptic.  Upon installation/update this package actually pulls the 
latest version from Adobe and installs it where/as Ubuntu expects.  This 
package supercedes the previous "flashplugin-nonfree" which was a 
packaging of the Adobe latest version (but tended to lag a bit).
