Excellent idea.

How can the installation system be aware of the presence of a braille
display, concretely ?

Would it be possible to have a configuration dialog box bound to this
task with checkboxes letting users choose the method they want to use for
accessibility, e.g. braile, speech, magnification.
Then the precise list of packages to install may depend on the
selections done in this dialog box, i.e. accessibility through speech
could for instance install emaspeak and cicero, whoc wouldn't be
installed if only ccessibility through braille has been selected.
