Lots of users would be very happy with better Flash support. If someone 
provides a nice patch to get a recent version of Gnash into the repo, 
I'll accept it.

Yes. Questions are welcome on the gnewsense-dev mailing list or the 
#gnewsense IRC channel.

The deltah repos are only meant to be used by deltah users. However, 
deltah users could use an Ubuntu Hardy repo at getgnash.org. I don't 
know how hard it would be to set up such a repo. Maybe you can work 
something out if you talk to Rob in the #gnash channel. He's a busy man 
and has already helped us a bunch by setting up the metad repo. Maybe if 
he gets some help it will be feasible to set up an additional repo.
