Don't mix things: Mario was answering your initial concern, which was
about _installing_ gnome-orca. He answered by saying that we should
probably rather convince the debian developers that gnome-orca should
just _always_ be installed. And thus no need for a tasksel item.
That's all he meant to say, no need to go ranting.
Now you are talking about _activation_. That is a quite different
concern (and much more difficult to implement), but yes that would be
good too. Now, about the difference: as I explained in French on another
list it is merely that it has to be done, and nobody yet took the time
to do it, that's all.

Thus no other issue than disk space (just like internationalization).

Nope. Tasksel deals with installing packages, not configuring them.

Sure, but as said above, it takes time, and nobody has taken it yet,
that's all. Really, it's not easy like snapping fingers...
