Getting speakup to run on debian

[Jude DaShiell]

We use the s at the boot prompt to activate software speech for that 
installation of speakup.  The problem is no other options with that s 
will be accepted and that's a debian decision which is something I 
complained about earlier.  I'm pretty sure debian has an initialization 
file installers can modify to put extra boot parameters into so the 
installer starts up with those extra boot parameters automatically.  It 
means burning yourslef your own custom debian iso to do it once the file 
is modified though.
