Public bug reported:

The acroread package which provides Adobe Acrobat is not in the Feisty
multiverse repository, apparently because of a change in the license
from Adobe.

However IMO, there should still be a way of very easily installing this
software, in a manner similar to that used to install 'restricted'
drivers.

Acrobat Reader is essential for people using desktop linux, as in a
professional setting it is the only option for reliably viewing all
PDFs.

For people wondering how to install it under Feisty and who are happy
with a little command line trickery, you can follow the instructions
here:
