Not sure how often the packages site is updated, daily perhaps. This one 
is minute-by-minute though: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/espeak 
and shows espeak 1.19 in main.

We've gone with 1.19 for feature freeze, but we can upgrade to 1.20 
later. In fact if we are looking at bug fixes and updated languages only 
we can take in new versions even a month from now. It just needs to be 
justified and done manually. We may choose to only pull select patches 
from later versions.

The reason we opted to to with 1.19 for the freeze is that moving 
everything from festival to espeak is a drastic change, while bumping 
from 1.19 to 1.20 is not. The version bump can be done after the freeze 
but the change of architecture can not.
