According to Tom Gundersen:

# Correct.
In that case, it looks like it's safe to remove /etc/conf.d/espeakup
from the package, since it is ignored by the systemd service, and
appears to have been shipped with the Arch package for compatibility
with conf.d and the rc.d initscripts rather than being an upstream
configuration file.
I'm currently working with Chris on testing new Talking Arch releases,
and will be helping to update the wiki documentation for Talking Arch
installation as well, so I'll document the service file override when
command line options are needed.
