Actually, it doesn't.  
I purged the existing speech-dispatcher package and did a rm -rf on /etc/speech-dispatcher.  
Then, I installed the speech-dispatcher package again.
my ~/.speech-dispatcher/log/espeak.log contains the following:

pulse.c: pa_simple_new() failed: Connection refused

That's why I returned to gnome-speech.  It's the only way currently to use orca in Debian Sid or Squeeze.
