It's not the same situation. In d-i we expect the user not to be
using a serial-to-usb board for flashing devices, or any such kind of
devices that brltty conflicts with. That's why there we can afford both
installing it and automatically enabling it. On an installed system, we
have the conflict issue. On a liveCD we could consider that there is the
same conflict issue.
> b) Including enabling of accessibility in the tasksel seems a problem. First because it implies changing several ones, while the stuff is transversal.
The end-of-time goal is that it is transversal. But ATM it is completely
useless to enable it on desktop where it will just not work. That's why
it is currently not enabled in all tasksels for installed systems.
That's the same for liveCDs: there is no point in making the image
bigger if it's useless.

It's rather a mere question of unneeded space use. That question is the
same with liveCDs. Again, I believe there is nothing more to be done
here than for installed systems, because the issues at stake are the
same.
> that is why BRLTTY, as well as the speakup scripts, include accessibility enabling it, if the installer uses brltty and speakup, as the last step of the process. So here, it should be the 1st step of the process, and an additional script to add to the livecd when running the live session on the desktop.
Probably in the liveCD case we indeed need a shortcut to make it run
brltty, i.e. pressing the shortcut would mean "yes, I'm sure I don't
have any serial-to-usb board for flashing devices, so it's safe to run
brltty". But again, that's the same issue as on an installed system that
you would find out at a public library or elsewhere, there is nothing
specific to liveCDs here.
