Ah, found it. If one uses the "Get Flash" web page, "APT" shows up
in the "Versions" drop down list. And then it produces this URL for
the "download":
apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner
Reading elsewhere, it would appear Canonical is hosting a repository
for Adobe. But Adobe appears to be hosting their own YUM repository.
Humph.
