Okay I've learned my new thing for the day :-)
I was booting it on an old intel mac mini that actually has debian on it but I'm not using orca on it now. I actually did get it to boot and I did discover that command-option-s got me screen reader is turned on" and "off". I'll probably play with it more later.

Super+alt+s means hold down the super key, the alt key and the s key all at the same time. The super key is also known as the Windows key.

Hmmm, maybe I was confused about the installer you are using or perhaps
what I found was too old. In looking at debian accessibility there is
reference to the gnome live cd and it does talk about starting orca. I'm
pasting what it says (can't figure out what super-alt-s is!) and paste
the link.
The gnome liveCD has screen reader support. At the boot menu, one has to
type enter (TODO: add beep). Then the desktop launches up (TODO: add
beep), and one can press super-alt-s to start Orca.

Well, I went looking for this, partly because it seems you've gotten
no answer and partly because I have a frustrating situation with two
old computers with different wifi cards that can respond to a scan but
don't connect. I was thinking about trying the live cd in them to see
whether that would do wifi for either of these machines but frankly
this link below looks rather confusing so I don't know whether or not
I'll try it. I imagine you have already read this so it's probably not
helpful but it's all I've found so far.
