	I found that file exactly as you indicated and added
/bin.  Here it is:

[Unit]
Description=Software speech output for Speakup
Documentation=man:espeakup(8)
Wants=systemd-udev-settle.service
After=systemd-udev-settle.service sound.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/espeakup.pid
Environment="VOICE= ALSA_CARD="
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/espeakup
ExecStart=sh -c '/bin/modprobe speakup_soft && /usr/bin/espeakup -V ${VOICE}'
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=sound.target

	It is actually quite clear but nothing changed.

	The system this time is named a0 and is the twin brother,
at least as far as speakup goes, of the first system except that
I didn't try anything creative first.  The command was

apt-get upgrade after doing apt-get update first.

I hope you have no trouble reading all the metadata that seems to
come from the output of the scripts as they produced it.

root@a0:/lib/systemd/system# apt-get upgrade
