Other folks have noticed this on the regular Sarge netinst CD, and it 
has been discussed on the debian-users mailing list, so that one has 
nothing to do with the speakup modifications. 

The issue of the speakup modified 2.6.8  kernel is a sticky one, since 
that kernel requires a speakup patch version that may only be available 
by rolling back the retrieval date in the CVS sources. The speakup 2.0 
tarball requires 2.6.10 or 2.6.11, so it cannot be used to patch 2.6.8  
for the Sarge release. I seem to recall that the mark/cut/paste problem 
was propagated in the CVS system for a short time before it was fixed, 
and it looks the luck of the draw that you used it while it was broken 
to patch the 2.6.8 kernel.
