Hi, Firstly, I confirm, even if, of course, it's not great for system stability, yes you can use orca on squeeze with experimental. To do this, add the experimental repository in sources.list, apt-get update, apt-get -t experimental gnome-orca. No dependencies that squeeze would not have. It works fine. Not necessary to build.
Martin, don't hesitate if I can help you for your other issues.

I think squeeze can be fine for people who don't have too specific needs. Of course there are things to solve today, that I try reporting (Evolution, shortcuts on Gnome, ...). I hope it'll work. So far I consider lenny is the best compromise for a11y, if no specific hardware and needs. Migrating is hard, squeeze has issues to solve. I think it's needed to be careful with updates, as I'm not fully optimistic about future: gnome 3, orca 3, ... So I think it's better to stay stable and so far, lenny is fine; squeeze must be fixed (I speak for ordinary user). > In practice, at least in my experience, it's surprising how little breakage > occurs in Sid.
