You can compile and install the tar.gz package on Debian.

Code:

./configure
make
make install (as root)

If there is no special reason why you need a .deb-package, you can just get the .tar.gz file from Adobe, unpack it to a temporary folder, cd to that folder and run

./INSTALL as root (no compiling required).

To install the Mozilla plugins, look for the "Browser" subdirectory in the Acrobat install folder and take a look at the readme. There is script, which copies "npdf.so" to the browser plugins-directory. You can do this last step manually also, I guess...

If apt-get doesn't find it, add " deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main " to your sources list (without the quotes). Then do apt-get update, followed by apt-get install acroread.

Good luck!
