I don't need it; I'm verifying the original bug report that started this
discussion.
With the current Debian package, if we set RUN=yes in
/etc/default/speech-dispatcher then it creates a socket in a reasonable place
in the file system, but the client doesn't find it. Any reasonable
administrator with Linux experience would expect this to work, but it doesn't.
The original reporter was probably trying to use Speakup, BRLTTY or Yasr (I
can't remember which support Speech-Dispatcher now) early in the boot process
and decided to run it system-wide to achieve this.
