Title:
  Installer inaccessible to Orca screen reader

Status in orca package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In Impish (canary), when attempting to use the installer with the Orca
  screen reader for accessibility,  Orca cannot determine the states or
  roles of the form controls, and they all appear as 'grayed'. When I
  select an item, no feedback is given.  To reproduce:  start the Orca
  screen reader, on the live system, and select "install" option.  Move
  among the locale selector. Orca will read the language name and add
  "frame grayed". Select one by hitting the space bar on it. Orca should
  read "selected", but it remains silent.  When you tab among the
  options, you'll eventually hear that you are on the 'next' button,
  yet, it, too, will be described as "grayed".  The behavior described
  here will appear on all pages of the installer wizard.
