I tried to statically link espeakup against libespeak, libportaudio
and libasound; that produced a 500KB binary, which is indeed less than
what espeakup + libespeak.so + libportaudio.so + libasound.so would be
(1.2MB).  The resulting udeb is 230KB.

There also needs to be espeak-data-udeb.udeb, which is 500KB (1.5MB
unpacked), and sound modules, which are 1.2MB (5MB unpacked).

Thus a total estimation of 2MB of udebs (7MB unpacked).
