Good point. Agreed.

Agree, but if fixing the bug doesn't happen in time, it will drop out of
Stretch (at least if it remains with speechd-up). If we can't find the
real bug (and a solution), maybe having an init script that needs to be
enabled by the user is better than no speechd-up in Stretch. But see
below. (And what an incredible amount of work are we putting into this
package with a popcon of 9).

Please go ahead.

I don't think so. It breaks a very related package.

Please don't hesitate further.

Ok.

Ack.
