I had to revert upgrades of the brltty package for Slint because users
complained about the lack of Braille output in Mate through Orca in versions
6.2 and 6.3.

Do you mean that brltty is running but there's no braille on the display, or do
you mean that brltty isn't running?

brltty is running.

I don't think it has anything to do with privileges. How is brltty running
within a text console?

Fine.

If possible I'd rather take the time to weigh the benefit/risks at the
before doing change of the default configuration at the distribution level

Brltty, as always, runs just fine with full privileges. It's just that some
people feel very strongly that things should always be running with as little
privilege as is absolutely needed.

So my question for is: how can I upgrade the package to provide the same
features as 6.1 for now, leaving the new features like running brltty as a
regular user for a future upgrade? I have in mind asking this that providing
new features could need to not only modify the package but also our
installer.

6.3 should do exactly that.

The best way to capture a log is to use -l (lowercase) to say what you want to
log and to use -L (uppercase) to specify the log file. You could start,
therefore, by adding these two options in brltty_start():

    -ldebug -L/path/to/brltty.log

Will try that again, thanks. Actually I already did but nothing obvious for me came up. What should I look for more specifically, please?
