Removing brltty will only lead to the removal of its reverse
dependencies and so on. This stops at:
* brltty-espeak
* brltty-flite
* brltty-speechd
* brltty-x11
None of which you need.
Theoretically, removing brltty and orca takes little with it.
I don't have brltty installed on neither my bullseye nor my unstable
installs.
