Bug#678064: debian-cd: Please include espeakup on cd1

June 18th, 2012 - 06:40 pm ET by Samuel Thibault | Report spam
Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.1.8
Severity: important

Hello,

Currently espeakup is not asserted to be on cd1. If speakup is not on
cd1, blind users (with no braille device) which use only cd1 to install
Debian, end up with an unusable system, because lacking espeakup to talk
to them. To avoid this situation, espeakup should really be on cd1,
just like brltty is. alsa-utils is also needed, but I see it's already
on the list.
