It seems to be included in the access images too :
$ grep brltty pkg-lists/*/*
pkg-lists/access/common:brltty-udeb
pkg-lists/access/i386.cfg:brltty-modules-${kernel:Version}
Not sure where exactly those get used though, but maybe non-i386 users would
like to have it too, and maybe we should include it per default in the cdrom
images at least ?
The brltty .udeb is 88k on i386, and the brltty modules seem are :
brlvger
belkin_sa
on powerpc belkin_sa is 15k or so, and brlvger is not built, i wonder why
though.
