Well, things have evolved a lot since then. Speakup used to need to patch the kernel quite heavily in order to get keyboard screen access. I have worked with lkml to integrate that part much more nicely with notifiers, and it is now part of 2.6.24. The result is that the patch that Speakup needs is now reduced to exporting the inverse_translate, kbd_table, kd_mksound, and screen_glyph symbols, which is already the case in the -mm tree. As a consequence, speakup can now be compiled as a separate module which can be loaded only when necessary (blind people).

It is not part of the upstream kernel.
but just be compiled separately, just like exmap, ndiswrapper, spca5xx
etc.
The reason they are in linux-modules extra is exactly because they are _not_
included in the official upstream kernel source, and thus need to be in a
different source package.
If you wanted speakup to be in linux-modules-extra, you should not have sent
your patches to lkml for inclusion...
Speakup didn't got to lkml for inclusion. Only the notifier part did,
and it's now available in Debian. The few still needed export symbols
didn't get through however, so a very light patch is still needed (see
attachement).
