There is no flash-plugin-debuginfo package provided by Adobe, and
a good backtrace cannot be created. Filing bad/non-detailed crash reports
of stuff running in nspluginrapper would be useless. Especially if it's
closed source software. Blacklisting the whole nspluginwrapper package
seems to be a trade-off.
