It turns out that this actually works, since we replace /usr/bin/lp with
a symlink to the athena lp compatibility script, though it might look
wrong when it appears in the print dialogue.
There are no os dependencies on the acrobat packages, so we could just
nuke them, at the cost of no longer having acroread in the standard path.
(We removed acrobat from 6.[23] because that was an old version; 6.5
comes with 3.0).
