Public bug reported:
Of course this falls in the 'Opinion' category, but I feel that 'acroread'
doesn't need to ask if it should be the system default.
It stops the installation unnecessarily, also 'okular' and 'evince' don't ask
this question. As the old saying goes: "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander"
