I am terribly sorry to say that the release team and the accessibility team only learned about your bug *after* the release. The reason is that you filed this bug against a package that wasn't in either unstable or testing (buster at the time of filing) therefor, nobody (except the former maintainer of the package) was notified of your bug. That said, revelation was removed from buster on Thu, 30 Nov 2017 because it depended on deprecated packages and nobody ported it to something maintained. It really couldn't be included, unless somebody would have done the work. This issue should have been raised 2 years ago, so that there would have been time to look for a fix. Sorry. Paul
