Bug Description
Hello, Adobe has said they will not be supporting Flash beyond 2020:
https:/

I think we shouldn't ship Flash in hirsute. Does our agreement with Adobe for distributing Flash installers or code allow us to skip shipping Flash in hirsute?
Thanks

Why would we stop providing those packages before Adobe's EOL date? Please note that the packages exist and are (usually) updated on all stable releases. How would it make sense to not ship them with groovy?
I would suggest that they are shipped with groovy as usual, and that the packages are replaced with dummies in all stable releases once EOL has been reached.
