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.
Can you (or someone else interested in this) draft a list of things we would need to do/ship to actually have working accesibility support (for you)? This includes everything that might be there right now. I myself have never seen such a setup, so please be explicit.
We'd also need someone testing this stuff regularly, especially before a release goes out. If we were to (accidentally) break accessibility, I assume it's not really useful to actually have the software on the ISO at all; so not having QA here is not really an option.
If somebody steps up to do the work and/or the list, we might reconsider.
