Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: acroread

acroread is missing for amd64 in the Lucid repos.  An i386 version
exists in the canonical partner repo, and also multiverse.

There is some problem with Adobe not wanting a 64-bit package to exist, but 
somehow that problem was resolved for Hardy,
see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/359592
The exact resolution wasn't  disclosed in postings to that bug, but hopefully 
the same thing can be done for Lucid.

Please don't say "just use the free alternatives".  They do not always
work and/or aren't bug-for-bug compatible with PDFs produced by certain
sources.
