I believe currently the best way to install is using Shane's modified
netinst iso at http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst-speakup but I
haven't used it for an install so I can't be sure.

Yes speakup is included in Debian, but it is still not easily available
on the installation media. You are still almost certainly going to want
to roll your own kernel with the latest and greatest speakup in it
one day.
