Maybe ze cqn do this at the Oldenbourg meeting ? Or at least a first step to it. Do we have brltty .udebs, would building images which include it or include it by default not solve the floppy issue, and we can then sort out the other issues as they show up ? I bet those are rather fine-tuning issues, but if we use the text interface they could also just plain work. Osvaldo, would you volunteer to (co-) maintain the brltty-udeb package and test it out or something such ?
