Ok. Packages are ready for testing. I have put up a repository on my 
webspace. Add the following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file 
in your dapper installation/chroot.

deb http://www.themuso.com/ubuntu/accessibility/ dapper main universe
deb-src http://www.themuso.com/ubuntu/accessibility/ dapper main universe

Binary packages are available for i386 and powerpc. Amd64 users will 
have to pull down the source and rebuild, as I don't have access to an 
amd64 box at this time.

You will need to have universe enabled in your sources.list file, as 
speech-dispatcher has needed depenancies there. If you currently have 
gnome-speech installed, an upgrade will update this, and will also 
install speech-dispatcher. You will need to manually enable the 
speech-dispatcher driver in gnopernicus to use it. You can also test it 
with the test-speech binary that comes with gnome-speech. Note that the 
test-speech binary is not included in the standard Debian/Ubuntu 
gnome-speech packages.

Please let me know if there are any problems with the archive, and let 
us get testing.
