ACK, I have that locally.


I also looked at the following commit (1af5cf90995c12bdb70083181d9a97a504e032aa),
adding 's' shortcut, but cherry-picking it seems less obvious since the multiarch
menus weren't reworked in jessie (comments added on the right).
                $one->("... Install with speech synthesis", Speach => 1);
                $one->("... Install with speech synthesis", Graphical => 1, Speach => 1);               # 32
                $one->("... 64 bit speech install", SixtyFour => 1, Graphical => 1, Speach => 1)        # 64
                    if $sixtyfour;

instead of:
                $one->("... Install with speech synthesis", Graphical => 1, Speach => 1);               # hotkey gets added here only
                $one->("... 32 bit speech install", ThirtyTwo => 1, Graphical => 1, Speach => 1)
                    if $thirtytwo;

I suspect we could add the shortcut on the 32 line and not touch the 64 line,
given 32-bit is the default with that image in jessie (as opposed to 64-bit in
stretch), but I'd appreciate a confirmation for both points:
 - this change is welcome on the accessibility side (→ Samuel);
 - my 32/64 logic is not off (→ Didier).

Mraw,
KiBi.
