I am still in etch. But, I'll take a shot.

If you upgraded from lenny, and flash was working, perchance you had the mozilla-flashplayer (I think) pkg instead of the flashplayer-nonfree (I think)? Because flashplayer-nonfree is broken in lenny. If memory serves, flashplayer-nonfree will not install if mozilla-flashplayer is present. So to get the sid pkg now you may have to remove mozilla-flashplayer, then install flashplayer-nonfree.

Guessing here.

An update (debian unstable) - but I don't recall any packages associated
with video/flash in the update.

Nothing else
