Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

Indeed, it looks like the ack package is currently missing from Artful. There is a proposed package though, but it doesn't seem to have made its way to the release archives. I took a look at the publishing history (click "View full publishing history" from the overview page or see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ack/+publishinghistory) and looks like ack was recently removed from artful with the following comment:
"New version is broken according to autopkgtests, old version needs rebuilt for perl transition; remove to make room for perl"

Possibly these tests keep it from migrating from proposed.

(Btw, the ack-grep source package was replaced by ack recently,
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ack-grep/+publishinghistory)

** Changed in: ack (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
