Hi.  I don't run speech-dispatcher as a user.  I run it system wide.  With that
config, I don't have any problems using Deqtalk or Swift.
Never used spd-conf, so can't help with that.
You might need to ask on ubuntu-accessibility.  
I believe Ubuntu is the distro that created that
program and wants users to run speech-dispatcher from there home dir.
Spd-conf does exist in the Debian package, but I just edit config files in /etc/speech-dispatcher.
