Is speakup no longer included in grml releases?

gmrl or grml?

I was following the audio tutorial, and that option did not work for me. And in their FAQ, it did not sound like it was available. Maybe I didn't read it right.

I ended up running grml-debootstrap 

I hope it's not too much of a pain lol. Why would it be?
