Hmmm, well, it doesn't seem to be as far as I can tell. I'm running
testing, which is now being called Lenny/sid, probably until the
debian team separates Lenny from sid later on, and "aptitude show
gnome" gives me:
gnome

I also see there is a gnome-orca package, which is the screen reader
judging from the description, and that's at 2.18. Looking at the orca
pages on gnome.org, it says that orca works with gnome 2.16 or later,
and I wasn't sure therefore what would happen if I installed debian's
gnome 2.14, with gnome-orca. The one time I tried building gnome via
garnome, after installing a whole bunch of needed debian packages
following the garnome docs, I got http 404 errors early in the
fetching process, so I just decided to wait until debian testing moved
to gnome 2.16, or gnome 2.18, thus my question on the subject. Thanks.
