We don't really have a test suite. We do have individuals who care about a certain aspect of the installer who test certain things regularly, especially when a D-I release is being prepared. I guess for accessibility that would be you :-) It would also be good if someone tested the alternative "themes" that were created. That info about qemu would be good to have available though. Maybe you could create a DebianInstaller/Accessibility wiki page and add that info there? Feel free to link that page from the main DebianInstaller page. I tried it (only quickly) and could not get it working, so some more precise instructions would be welcome (the first command at least needs sudo): baum_init: brlapi_openConnection: Unknown error Warning: could not add USB device braille I have: ii qemu 0.9.1-5 fast processor emulator I think the problem may be group memberships or something?
