Bug#656904: Gnash breaks flash-enabled websites (such as Google Finance)

Google Finance doesn't work on Gnash because it uses AVM2, and Gnash
doesn't support it.

According to Gnash's FAQ[1], AVM2 isn't supported, but it is
recommended that people use Lightspark (that supports AVM2 and falls
back to Gnash for AVM1 code).

Since Lightspark is already on Debian testing, maybe Gnash should
recommend Lightspark?
