Bug Description

flashplugin-installer should depend on libnspr4 and libnss3 instead of libnspr4-0d and libnss3-1d

libnspr4-0d is a transitional package to ensure smooth transition of all packages to libnspr4.

libnss3-1d is a transitional package to ensure smooth transition of all packages to libnss3.

[Impact]

flashplugin-installer depends on libnspr4-0d and libnss3-1d, which means libnspr4-0d and libnss3-1d cannot be removed from the system.

[Test Case]

* Install flashplugin-installer, and verify that libnspr4-0d and libnss3-1d are not installed with it.

* If it is already installed, you should be able to run 'apt-get purge libnspr4-0d' without removing flashplugin-installer.

* You should be able to run 'apt-get purge libnss3-1d' without removing flashplugin-installer, but be aware that openjdk-7-jre-headless and ecryptfs-utils still currently depend on libnss3-1d, so that may prevent you from removing it.

[Regression Potential]

There are no code changes. The fix only removes two dependencies on transitional packages.
