If you're running on an x86 machine (non-64-bit) then you usually don't 
even need the libflash items on your machine to view flash. 
Iceweasel/Firefox have a pretty spiffy plugin installer that will just 
install the proprietary flash locally in your home directory when you try 
and view a flash site. In other words, Iceweasel should just "do the right 
thing" when you try to view flash.

Beyond that, I personally haven't had much experience with the FLOSS flash 
offerings lately, so I can't vouch for libflash personally.
