Talking with engineering to try and get this updated.

** Description changed:

  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.
