Bug#859926: speechd-up: fails to install
Hi,
1st, I have always had the idea the the spd service had bugs and was not
really usable: spent so resource, didn't run really, etc. Hence the fact
it's always been in "no" in defaults/speech-dispatcher.
2nd, given this feedback, maybe we may try requesting to the initscript
to wait for some seconds, with a kind of pause parameter? Would it fix
the bug?
Regards,
