This is secondary but the name of this package in the Ubuntu Software Center should be changed from "Adobe Reader" to "Adobe Reader 9 (Dutch Version)". Aside from the name of the package being "adobereader-deu", there is no indication that the package is not English (even in the "more info" section). I suspect that this is the reason why people are installing this by mistake.

Screenshot attached.
