Adobe Reader as localapp

You could use gdebi instead of apt-get, that is, just use
sudo mv /root/package.deb /opt/ltsp/i386/path/to/package.deb
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 gdebi /path/to/package.deb

if you get errors about gdebi not being installed, you can install it
via
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install gdebi

Of course, if you use the way described by Jonathan Carter and add the
medibuntu repositories to the chroot sources.list
(as Jonathan said, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu, it
is really a well-written document. Just remember to put sudo
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 before each command.) you will get
all dependencies and updates via apt-get, that is way easier to maintain
than to watch out for every update of acroread and then install it by
hand via gdebi.

Greetings,

Mika
