i would suggest not to use an installer, but make a normal .deb of the
voices, but just don't include them into the main archive. this way you
can set up your own aptable repository for leeching or make an
additional cd to be distributed with the regular debian ones.
we already have a very good installer: apt-get, we don't need more of
them...
