I'm not using speech, only braille support.

This can only help people who currently uses speech, and Speakup is
supporting English-speaking hardware synths, (or tuxtalk) while installing
a Fr or Nl Debian Sarge with English-sounding speech is quite impossible.
The thing to do is just like unde Mandriva, (or Knoppix): being able to
pass params to the kernel of the installer so that you have braille
support while installing,
+ the useful+permanent toolbar who tells were the cursor is near.
In general braille is the prime interface for us since it is more
universal than speech.
