And taking that all your screen readers, braile output and magnifier apps would significantly increase the installation image and would be run from memory I kind of doubt that this is something that would be loved wildly.
So I would suggest we leave accessibility installation to the live CD, even if that means that some options (like update) wouldn't be accesssible. BTW: Qt has an at-spi bridge, so you can use whatever apps you use under GNOME also in the installation (in theory).
