[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1092220@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IBM asked me why "acroread" has been dropped in Quantal.  I did some
investigation and it turns out that the problem started earlier than
that.

Acroread:i386 is available for Precise, but acroread:amd64 failed to
build from source.  This was never fixed.  There are numerous web pages
out there since that tell people how to get around this on Precise
(either install the i386 which will pull in about 140 MB of i386
dependencies) or download Acrobat directly from Adobe.

Now on Quantal, there is no source package at all, so obviously nothing
built.

So far I have not heard anything suggesting these were an intentional
changes.  In fact, it's possible that we are failing to fulfill an
agreement with Adobe by not building it.  I think it comes down to the
fact that partner hasn't really gotten the same level of attention since
Brian Thomason left.

I'm not sure how important this is to the customer quite yet, so I'm
going with the default P3 for now.
