9.1.0-0.4 is pretty frickin old.  Are you running Lenny?

Have you gone to http://www.debian-multimedia.org to see if there's 
any news?

BTW, the d-m.o unstable branch still lists acroread.

$ apt-cache policy acroread
acroread:
  Installed: 9.3.1-0.0
  Candidate: 9.3.1-0.0
  Version table:
 *** 9.3.1-0.0 0
        500 http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable/non-free Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
