OK, but why do we, as a community, need a special distro? Yes, it's free
software, so there is certainly nothing stopping you as long as you realize
it's your pet distro along with the about 300 others on distrowatch.com. I
would much rather have a popular, mainstream distro which includes great
accessibility like Debian and derivatives.
I'm not sure how things are at present, but in the past,
Debian has shown some commitment to supporting
accessibility[1], including at the installer level[2].
Yes, Debian still supports accessibility. Every alpha release of D-I has
accessibility features and fixes.
This is not the same as a special-purpose distribution, and
I think the pages were written some time ago. Still I would
think that some effort would be worthwhile, and would
benefit all Debian derivatives, which could include
a accessbility-centric distribution.
1. https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility
2. https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#Debian_installer_accessibility
These pages should be fairly current and are often updated by Debian
developers like Samuel Thibault.
