There isn't any need to, however that logic can be extended to all 
SlackBuilds/packages. Any way, the package will also contain something 
called "kcm_adobe_flash_player.so" which I gather is for KDE4, and the 
flash-player-properties binary along with several other minor files. The 
package makes it easy to install/remove all of this. However if you're 
more comfortable doing it by hand then you may as well just drop the .so 
in ~/.mozilla/plugins with each new version.
