Is speakup no longer included in grml releases?

[John G. Heim]

The grml developers are trying to streamline things. I don't want to speak 
for them but after discussing things with them on the grml list, I got the 
impression that they'd rather do a few things really well rather than try to 
do everything and end up doing nothing really well.
