Hi guys: Samuel will have to verify this but I believe there will be Debian packages for speakup in the near future. Michael as for what the speakup git repository will patch and install against is all kernels from 2.6.18 up to the current Linux kernel git repository version which changes hourly as far as I know. I too would say I think you including and going out of your way to make sure speakup is available and works on your CD rescue/installation distribution is very well appreciated. I've use it many times as a quick rescue path myself because it's just nice and easy to grab your CD and drop it in a drive when I've managed to tie the kernel in knots developing and debugging speakup.
