After reading this thread I checked and my pepperflashplugin was indeed
out of date. (Bart: Security updates really are a problem with this
packaging method.)
But happily update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree is silent if there are no
updates, so all I had to do was create the file:
/etc/cron.daily/pepperflashplugin-nonfree
With the contents:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install
And problem solved for me. (I'll get an email from cron if there is an
update, but I'm OK with that.)
But this is probably not enough for debian as a whole because it means
every user will hit the server at (approx) the same time of day. They'd
need some way to randomize it.
Then again, google probably can handle it. So maybe the simple method will
work just fine.
