Yes. The graphical image is just about enabling the possibility of
graphical mode. It doesn't mean the text mode is not available (and
speakup needs it anyway).

That's it, and it's not a bug.

You have to, else you won't have speakup. Yes, it looks odd, but that's
the compromise we've found with debian-boot: the textmode image remains
small (it doesn't include speakup), while the graphical image can hold
it.

That won't work: speakup is not in the text image.

You have to choose graphical mode, else you won't have speakup. And how
to choose graphical mode depends on the precise CD image that you have,
and architecture.
