The PKGBUILD no longer requires:

provides=('flashplayer')

There is no official package that depends on `flashplayer' being provided:

$ find /var/abs -type f -name PKGBUILD -exec grep flashplayer {} + | awk '{print "===> " $0 "\n"}'
===> /var/abs/extra/flashplugin/PKGBUILD:url='http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer'

===> /var/abs/extra/flashplugin/PKGBUILD:provides=('flashplayer')

===> /var/abs/extra/flashplugin/PKGBUILD:source=('http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz'

===> /var/abs/extra/flashplugin/PKGBUILD:#[ "${CARCH}" = "x86_64" ] && source[0]="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-${_pkgver64}.linux-${CARCH}.so.tar.gz"

===> /var/abs/extra/flashplugin/PKGBUILD: install -m755 ${srcdir}/libflashplayer.so ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

I guess this was added because the upstream name is flashplayer and not flashplugin.

the logic behind it is to find easy the plugin when searching for flash, flashplayer, flashplugin
