Good catch with the socket and log files. There's indeed no $HOME in
the init.d env. It's just LC_*/LANG, PATH, PWD, TERM; but adding HOME
doesn't help as far as I can tell.
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR as referenced in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
isn't set in either env.
Looking at the log files, esp.
/root/.cache/speech-dispatcher/log/speech-dispatcher.log, I noticed
that running "sudo /etc/init.d/speechd-up start" works without errors.
Please note: I do not have and use systemd right now.
With systemd in use, this won't work, systemd catches the init script.
Running "sudo service speechd-up start" fails and this log shows a lot
of pulseaudio errors with the sub logs all logging this line:
pulse.c: pa_simple_new() failed: Connection refused
Looks like we're chasing a pulseaudio<->speech-dispatcher bug now. Fun.
Removing pulseaudio and setting AudioOutputMethod to alsa in
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf makes speechd-up work.
After rebooting I can hear parts of the boot log messages, and:
$ sudo service speechd-up status
[ ok ] Checking status of Interface between speakup and speech-dispatcher: speechd-up running.
The directories are different when starting at boot:

To work, speechd-up needs speakup and speakup_soft modules.
They are loaded automatically. If you don't want, type
rmmod speakup speakup_soft
. ok

Still a bit broken, but at least it's some progress.
At this stage, I think all these problems belong to speech-dispatcher.
I'll continue digging, but I I'll reset my vm after changing so much.
Just for the record:
I just found out that Jessie doesn't have any issues and the only
relevant changelog entry is "speechd-up.init: Fix startup/shutdown."
- well, for me it looks like the other way around.
Git commit: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-a11y/speechd-up.git/commit/?id=5db9503f13cdadbefb160846e53c8f141a7ee631
The errcode move is a legit bug fix.
STARTTIME might expose some bugs but isn't the root cause of anything.
Required-(Start|Stop) looks strange with the autospawn thing of
speech-dispatcher. But deleting speech-dispatcher from
Required-(Start|Stop) won't do anything - speech-dispatcher won't run
anyway unless enabled to do so in /etc/default/speech-dispatcher.
That's a dead-end, speechd-up doesn't seem to be the primary culprit.
