nspluginwrapper is packaged on 32-bit x86 and ARM in Fedora, so I
don't think that's entirely correct in the present day.

Anyway, good news. Found a solution! WebKit was ignoring the wrapped
plugin due to the presence of the "real" plugin. Fixing this, I now
have Flash running through nspluginwrapper on GTK3 Epiphany :)
