Bug#739989: debian-installer-utils: log-output change breaks speech synthesis
Source: debian-installer-utils
Version: 1.103
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: breaks speech synthesis
Hi Colin,
the change below breaks speech synthesis, as reported here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2014/02/msg00093.html
and suspected here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2014/02/msg00102.html
I've checked that building d-i against testing udebs lets me reproduced
this issue, and that adding d-i-utils' binaries to localudebs after
having reverted this change fixes speech synthesis.

log-output: Always install a no-op SIGCHLD handler
This copes with the case where the subsidiary process starts a daemon which
does not fully disconnect its standard file descriptors (LP: #1021293).
See also the changelog for 1.46.

Can you please have a look? Worst case I could revert and upload with
urgency=high (the package is in testing now), but having a proper fix
would be nice if it's only a matter of days.
Mraw,
KiBi.
