Hi,
http://www.debian.org/releases/2.2/i386/ (for example; other ports have
the same problem) strongly advocates the use of acroread, which is only
free as in beer:
PDF documents may be viewed with the Adobe® Acrobat® reader, which is
offered as a gratuity to the public by Adobe Corporation. There is
both a standalone version and a web browser plug-in that you may
download. It is very nice, and you will enjoy using the Linux version,
installable as a Debian package. Please read these documents on your
computer whenever possible, rather than printing them. PDF documents
are searchable and have a clickable table of contents. The typesetting
is publication quality. Save trees! Electrons recycle much more
readily than paper products.
We should suggest the use of a free PDF viewer instead. There seem to be
several alternatives available:
[cjw44@riva ~]$ grep-available -ev -FSection 'contrib|non-free' | \
> grep-dctrl -nsPackage -FProvides pdf-viewer | sort
gnome-gv
gv
kghostview
xpdf
Thanks,

Changes:
boot-floppies (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Falk Hueffner
- New library reducing script mklibs.py, using different algorithm
that is likelier not to add unneeded symbols. Activated by default
for Alpha, since mklibs.sh doesn't make them small enough;
we may move all arches to this in next release
- Don't copy sys_map and kernel config to rescue floppy on Alpha since
aboot doesn't fit otherwise.
* David Kimdon
- no free adverstising for commercial companies
closes: #105492
- Update Danish dbootstrap messages thanks to
Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>
* Richard Hirst
- fix md5sum.txt contents for hppa
- doc updates for ia64 and hppa
- move elilo in to /usr/sbin
- call ia64 kernel linux rather than vmlinux to match other archs
- ia64 and hppa now use 2.4.7 kernel
* John H. Robinson, IV
- Fixed the serial console not 9600 problem
- Added ReiserFS support
* Martin Schulze
- fix nfsroot detection problem for mips
* Matt Kraai
- check host name for RFC 1123 compliance
* Phil Blundell
- ARM is now using kernel 2.4.5
* Christian T. Steigies
- m68k: add more Mac (not map...) keymaps to keymaps.gz.
I waited one week for a Mac user to test it. Nobody dared...
* Henning Heinold
- mips fixing libfdisk for mips (patch from Guido Guenther)
- mips adding dvhtool (patch from Guido Guenther)
* Stefan Gybas
- Initial S/390 support (not working yet)
* Adam Di Carlo:
- help the library reduction be better, we hope, by reducing libnewt
first, then libslang
- build-depend on aboot for alpha
closes: #107622
- build-depend on syslinux for i386
closes: #107517
- sparc/sun4u uses kernel-image-2.4.7-sun4u (not 2.4.4)
- root filesystem: provide /var/dhcp, hopefully this will help when
dhclient fails
closes: #107381
* Guido Guenther
- dbootstrap: changes for dvhtool support and other MIPS porting
issues; ip22 should boot now
- mips now buildable (we hope!)
* Karsten Merker
- more mips and mipsel support
* new busybox/wget fixes the segfault problems installing base
closes: #107532, #107154
* new ash should fix some problems configuring modules
closes: #106693, #107377
