call for braille device testing

[Mikael Holmgren]

Hi!
Will try whis, i have access to usb Alva satelite traveler, and Tieman
Combibraille serial 45/85.

However, i notice that on the live-cd (from feb 9 for example), the
libbrlapi package is missing, thereby making orca not to braille until
that is installed.
