Status of Speech Dispatcher package

I packaged the 0.7 release of speech-dispatcher for Vinux, but it
broke compatibility with speechd-up, which is no longer maintained.
Most Vinux testers who use the testing repository rely on either
speechd-up or ospeakup, so I was forced to remove the new
speech-dispatcher package, as testers were all losing speech in their
consoles.

Alternatively, I could get speechd-up working with the latest
speech-dispatcher, but as ospeakup is maintained, and in much better
shape than the last release of speechd-up, I didn't see the point.
