Hey folks. In Ubuntu we have the flite Speech Dispatcher module split out into a separate package, since at the time it was done, we were trying to shoot for fitting into a CD footprint. This is no longer something we try to do, but so far as I know, espeak supports more languages out of the box, and is more flexible, even though some may prefer the sound of flite.
I am wondering whether we should do the same in Debian. In fact I wonder whether it makes sense for all modules other than dummy and generic to be in their own packages, because as it stands, a module gets run if no modules are specifically enabled in the config file. Thoughts? Luke
