Regarding brltty, it certainly looks like the initrd generation scripts don't like something about it. I haven't used brltty, so can't tell you how to fix this. As for speakup not coming up at boot still, the only guess that comes to mind is that you're still running the old initial ramdisk, since generating the new one caused errors, and it wasn't generated. I could be wrong here. I can't think of why you wouldn't get speech at boot. Putting speakup_dtlk in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, and running update-initramfs -u has done it for me under debian for a long time now without fail.
