Well, maybe this could be fixed somehow. Mario, maybe we could rather
use hotplug rules for only starting brltty when
- either hotplug discovered braille USB devices,
- or the user added brltty= parameter on the command line.

This can be fixed quite easily with very minor modification of bterm.

It does indeed.

It should be kept at least on cdrom-minimal and netboot-minimal. 138KB
is not _that_ much on such devices, compared to the precious help it
will be for blind people to install Debian.
