I have uploaded a new package with debconf support:
emacspeak_28.0-4_all.deb. I think it is working correctly. However
this is the first time I've used debconf, and I may have set some kind
of record for complexity. I'd appreciate someone checking it.
Assuming it checks out okay, I'd like to see that package in Lenny.
Yes, I realize that my first package of version 28.0 missed the
deadline for Lenny by a few days. The functional difference from
version 26.0 is not great. (Dr. Raman just increments the version
number every six months.) However, that does make it a year newer
than the version currently in testing.

Introducing debconf support in a package that doesn't use it already
is IO too invasive and risking breakage.
So, I recommend simply commenting the call to "emacspeakconfig" in
postinst as of now so that this package can be released for lenny.
A patch is attached.
I plan to build an NMU unless the maintainer is OK to upload
himself...or find another solution (but, again, hasty debconf
introduction would seem too risky for me)=A0?
