The debathena-misc-glue package installs a /usr/bin/acroread attachandrun script, which conflicts with installing Acrobat from the Ubuntu partner repository:

Selecting previously deselected package acroread.
(Reading database ... 400376 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking acroread (from .../acroread_9.1.3-1jaunty1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/acroread_9.1.3-1jaunty1_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/acroread', which is also in package debathena-misc-glue

Importantly, debathena-misc-glue does not declare a conflict with the acroread package. This would be an RC bug if this were Debian/Ubuntu?...

However, even with the declared conflict, the package is a hard dependency of debathena-login-graphical, so we need to do something more:

1. Make it a recommendation of login-graphical
2. Make the package put the script somewhere other than /usr/bin, or create those files if they don't exist in some script (instead of packaging them)
3. Split the package into debathena-acroread-glue etc., and make debathena-misc-glue a metapackage that depends on debathena-acroread-glue | acroread, etc.

Thoughts? See also  1019855, which could be solved with a local install of 64-bit acroread... but more generally, on systems with Debathena installed that don't have reliable AFS, we shouldn't prevent installing a local acroread.

I'm not sure why, but I've regularly been able to make my Firefox or xterm or whatever occlude the bugme counter.

This involves changing a message prompt to a zenity --question.
