It is legitimate to refer to a third-party repository

[Martin Gansser]

I am working on a package review of nuvola-app-amazon-cloud-player [1]
It is legitimate to refer to a 3rd party repository i.e. 
#
https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10...
Recommends:     flash-plugin

Thanks for any response.

This is not permitted.  See

I'm sorry this isn't written down in either the packaging guidelines or
the third party repository policy.  I will work to get those updated.

I should also add that in your case it really shouldn't matter much.  If
someone actually has the adobe-linux repository installed so that the
weak dependency could be satisfied, they almost certainly also already
have flash-plugin package installed.  After all, that repository only
provides that single package.

Thanks for the information, I will then remove the reference to 3rd party repository.
