speakup and ubuntu

[Kenny Hitt]

It exists in the distros I've used, but each of them uses it
differently.  Debian based distros only use run levels for single user
default, and shutdown.
I'll have to recheck to be sure, but run levels 2 through 5 are all the
same on Debian based distros like Ubuntu and main stream Debian.
