For the record, I don't want Debian to be associated with Adobe Reader, even if it's only through non-free. It's very hard to provide any security support for Adobe software whatsoever because of their absurd distribution policy (which may not be directly their fault because they might have patent licenses with per-copy royalties, but still). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
