Only speech-dispatcher uses mbrola ATM, and without this fix it doesn't
work.

In my memory (that was changed months ago) it was just a routine update.

Well, the problem is that upstream has several websites. The stable
website seems to be google, but newer updates appear on abilitiessoft
first (and then they might remember to update google after that).
abilitiessoft used to be jbb-software before, that's why I consider the
google website more stable for upstream location.

It is actually not enabled, precisely because we're frozen (it was added
just before the freeze), see the speakup binary package being commented
in debian/control.

These aren't actually used atm because the speakup binary package is not
built. But yes, now dropped in our git repo.

Mmm, actually it's the converse. Due to the integration of the Debian
packaging to upstream, -2 apparently dropped the needed changes against
upstream (which were folded directly into .diff.gz), thus the -3 upload
to fix the configure call.
I'll upload a -4 that folds the -1 changes against upstream into a
separate patch.
