No speech after loading speakup_ltlk

[John G Heim]

Yeah, I thunk of that after I posted my original message. I upgraded to 
buster/testing and now I get speech. This is going to be a server and I 
am a little leery of running testing on a server. I am thinking about 
doing another install of stretch and configuring backports, assuming 
that still exists.

I used to run testing on servers all the time. One huge advantage is 
that debian testing is essentially a rolling release so you never have 
to do a version upgrade. When I ran debian testing in the past, I never 
had a problem. That was a long time ago and I don't know. Linux is 
different these days. It's way more complicated and significant bugs 
even get into stable versions.
