I'm not sure the debian live disks are intended as
a general purpose rescue system.
Also a rescue disk won't usually require
bleeding edge kernels or package versions:
For now, you can try this talking rescue CD, based on debian testing,
that includes only command line stuff, AFAIK.

(You may easily find and remove the speech module
from the kernel.)
I don't see the package list, but the author writes that he is
open to additional suggestions.
