That would indeed catch the issue, and clearly point out that a rebuild
is needed.

Well, it's not necessarily only about just catching the versioned
dependency, but also that this is just an example of the bad
consequences of linking things statically. espeakup hasn't been uploaded
for a year, meaning the installer didn't get the latest fixes from
espeak and portaudio in the meanwhile.
