Package: espeak-ng
Version: 1.49.0+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

while I'm excited to see an active fork of espeak, I felt let down by
the debian packaging: I'd like to switch from using espeak to espeak-ng,
but I'll have to edit my scripts to append the -ng suffix everywhere. Or
indeed write a wrapper script in /usr/local/bin/ that figures out
whether espeak or espeak-ng is installed and execs the appropriate thing
in /usr/bin/, because some of my machines are running stable (where
espeak-ng is obviously not yet available).

Having two binaries that provide the same command-line interface should
be made transparent to the user by alternatives or a dpkg-divert. Or, if
espeak upstream is truly dead, possibly by packaging espeak-ng as espeak.

Thank you for bringing espeak-ng to Debian.
    Jan

Did you try installing the espeak-ng-espeak package?  It provides the
espeak and speak symlinks.
