OK, so have a look at this wing.

About a month ago, we flew on an A 319m I believe it was N805AW

ON descent, as the flaps were extended, I noted what you see in the photo above. Looks like the forward edge of that flap is ...torn? and bent upwards? Is that right?

there is a closer pic. Normal or abnormal? Im not too familiar with flaps on the smaller Airbuses

That definately looks in place, you can tell by the shape looks like it was done with a CNC. I don't think it's anything to be worried about Mario.

What's a CNC?

I definitely found it interesting and later saw a few other photos and realized it was part of the wing design.
Not worried but it I were believe me, I would have said something then and there :)

What's a CNC?

CNC is "Computer Numerical Control" and is used as a shorthand reference to describe the method of using a computer to operate various machine tools, such as a lathe or milling machine, to produce parts. This allows for much more precise manufacturing, and easier reproduction of complex shapes.

What's a CNC?

As moose said - It's a computer driven drill set that uses coordinates to shave peices as small as a hair if not less. Manufacturers use them to shave blocks of aluminum, chromium, steel etc. Like aircraft, automobile and bike part companies use them.
