speakup kernel modules and espeakup have already been removed in the daily builds; they will not make it into the next release.
Okay, now I'm unclear as to why this is. The original post said the grml developers don't want to do anything half baked. But including speakup & espeak isn't doing it half baked. That's just mainstream. You don't need to do anything fancy anymore to provide accessibility.
The speakup kernel modules are indeed not mainstream; we have to build them separately from the main kernel. We're currently looking to remove all external modules, if possible.
So I stand corrected on these, since our 2011.05 release the modules are actually included in vanilla. (Thanks to U.D. for pointing this out.)
