What do you have in the chroot's /etc/apt/sources.list file? You'll need
the appropriate medibuntu[1] repositories if you'd like to apt-get
install it.

To install the deb from your root directory, you could do a:
dpkg -i /root/AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i386.deb
It may have some unresolved dependencies. You could download additional
dependencies then by doing a:
apt-get -f install

Installing via the medibuntu repositories will be your best route though.
