Ok. When I'm removing libflite1, besides flite and eflite also
brltty-flite and speech-dispatcher will disappear. This would bring

definitely appreciated from my side.

But I've to take a look at espeak and its configuration first of
all. Any help and feedback regarding espeak's configuration on grml
is highly welcome.
