Yes, I know this, but we were actually talking about
accessibility support in the Debian Installer. There is a difference
between a full-blown desktop system that a user wants to
use to get work done, and the system that is used to install
the operating system. I still doubt it is very
useful for blind people to use a graphical installer. Especially
because of all the needless overhead.
