To be able to switch between the different versions I found that it's simplest to do that by symbolic links, like so (as root):

1. Install experimental version in, say, new subdirectory 10.1:
   
   Code:

   mkdir /usr/lib/browser/plugins/10.1
   cp /path/to/new/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/10.1

2. Move original version to, say, new subdirectory orig:
   
   Code:

   mkdir /usr/lib/browser/plugins/orig
   mv /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/orig

To activate 10.1 version I do

Code:

ln -sf /usr/lib/browser/plugins/10.1/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so

and to activate the original version I do

Code:

ln -sf /usr/lib/browser/plugins/orig/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so

It's of course easy enough to define shortcuts (e.g. shell aliases for root) to have a more convenient switch, or even make a simple dedicated app.
