I find both espeak-dbgsym and espeakup-dbgsym available in the package
index today, after adding an apt sources.list entry for bookworm-debug
- perhaps it could be worth checking for them again?

Finding a way to cause the behaviour where espeakup stops talking
would be useful to narrow in on the problem - I haven't been able to
replicate it so far.

(with apologies for this multi-month delayed reply.  I'll try not to
replicate that)
