Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

In Ubuntu 10.04, using emacspeak (29.0-5) with eflite (0.4.1-3) as the
speech server, I get a few seconds of sound, and then the speech server
quits.  After I quit emacspeak, there is an apparently hung eflite
process:

    heap      5484  0.0  0.1 103184  3828 ?        Ssl  14:45   0:00
/usr/bin/eflite

If I don't kill the process, subsequent invocations of emacspeak have no
sound at all.  If I do kill it, I get a few seconds of sound, and then
nothing.  Emacspeak starts up saying something about "...backquote has
been redefined" (the words preceding this phrase are garbled).

Here's my emacspeak configuration:

# emacspeak configuration file
#
#
if [ "$DTK_PROGRAM" = "" ]; then
  DTK_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/eflite
fi
if [ "$DTK_PORT" = "" ]; then
  DTK_PORT=/dev/ttyS0
fi
if [ "$DTK_TCL" = "" ]; then
  DTK_TCL=
fi
if [ "$DTK_DEVICE" = "" ]; then
  DTK_DEVICE="Soundcard with eflite"
fi
export DTK_PROGRAM DTK_PORT DTK_DEVICE
if [ "$DTK_TCL" != "" ]; then export DTK_TCL; fi

Emacspeak was working in 9.04.  It didn't upgrade to 9.10 --- the
installation was broken.  Now it installs, but is broken.
