speakup.s and slackpkg

[Jude DaShiell]

Earlier this weekend I used slackpkg to do a system upgrade of 
slackware-12.2 and ended up having to reinstall the system.  The kernel 
got upgraded and as near as I can tell, what was used to do that upgrade 
wasn't speakup equipped.  This is probably a broader problem with slackpkg 
since if speakup.s got wiped out logically anyone else who installed a 
kernel other than bear.i is going to be upgraded with bear.i even if 
bear.i will not provide useable performance for their needs and system. 
Unfortunately, slackpkg was written by the slackware team so it's 
officially recommended.  Looks like some exclude code in the configuration 
file would have helped here but doing that would prevent an upgrade of 
speakup.s if one were actually available too.
