Was the previous native 64 bit version every stable? As far as I know
it was not. Is Flash stable at all?

I second Pierre's suggestion. This way everyone who wants the "stable"
32 bit Flash can install lib32-flashplugin or bin32-flashplugin and
everyone who wants the native 64 bit pre version can install
flashplugin. Except there are serious instabilities, bugs or
vulnerabilities. In this case the pre version should of course not be
provided.

But I'd choose one of the names lib32-flashplugin or bin32-flashplugin
over flashplugin-nspluginwrapper because it's clearer and says what
it's for.

Notwithstanding the above, I think the package in [multilib] should be
renamed. A package name without an appendix like lib32- is usually meant
to be a native package for the corresponding architecture.
