Short summary for d-accessibility: Upstream emacspeak, Raman, just e-mailed me to discuss the packaging of emacspeak in Debian. This email is around the fifth in the conversation. He proposes we simplify things. On 22-05-16 20:20, raman wrote: > 1. Yes, we can copy that list on this discussion -- but I dont have the > band-width to follow one more list.

What I meant was that we just make that package a hard > requirement for this debian emacspeak package Well, it is already a "Recommends" which on modern Debian systems means that it is installed by default (you have to opt-out to have no recommends during install). I am not sure right now about the priority level of the questions but the package already is aware that the user may want to use a different server. We could of course make sure the relevant questions are only asked at prio low (which means not by default) or when emacspeak-espeak-server is not installed. Then the end result is basically what you suggest. Look at the popcon stats¹ of the emacspeak packages, it seems everybody is now indeed installing emacspeak-espeak-server.
