I know...  But has Canonical dropped support for the acroread packages...

As far as I know they will be packaging it when the next update comes out.

Anyway I edited the page, it would be nice to know for certain if my facts
are correct.

Maybe I should add something about using Google's Chrome repository
and possibly not needing acroread or adobe-flashplugin packages.  If the
recent past is any indication users would be better off in terms of
security.  Chromium never seems to be up to date and the Google has
flash built into Chrome and it always seems to be updated as new
releases of flash come out.  I recently decided to remove Chromium and
flash, and use Chrome when I want flash, so i am using both Firefox
and Chrome and mostly use Firefox.
