debian 4.0 questions

Be aware though that debian 4.0 etch doesn't come with orca, and that
it doesn't have a version of gnome new enough to run orca on. If you
want to try out orca today under debian, and don't want to have to
compile gnome from source, you'll need to switch to debian unstable
sid, according to the conversation Kenny and I have had on here last
week or so.
