You need to pull the latest Speakup source from git, change to the src 
directory under where you created the git pull and run:

make modules
make modules_install

It's still necessary to at least have build-essential and 
module-assistant to make sure you pull in all needed dependencies such 
as the full gcc, kernel headers, etc.  You could also try ftp to a 
Debian mirror and getting the latest unstable Speakup source .deb 
package and installing it manually.  That should still work with m-a, 
but sometimes I've noticed that m-a wants to download the source 
anyway.  Note that none of this is for Ubuntu and hasn't been tested on 
anything but Debian Lenny and unstable.
