Bug Description

As mentioned in the original ubuntu change below, flash will be going EOL before the end on 18.04 support.

We (Kubuntu) did not follow this change at the time, however it seems appropriate to do so.

Potential debdiff should we go ahead. Include a change correcting the k3b extra codecs package name.

So far consensus from Kubuntu Council is +4/6 with 2 not commented yet, and other interested parties such as developers, users, end distributors all in favour.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-restricted-addons - 26

---------------
ubuntu-restricted-addons (26) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Update Kubuntu recommends
   - Drop Adobe Flash (LP: #1751752)
   - k3b now provides libk3b7-extracodecs, so update recommends to this
     version
