Hello,


What is it that upstream should do? As far as I can see, brltty already
supports dynamic loading of speech plugins. (see e.g. the
--speech-driver paramter) The only problem seems to be that espeak-ng
includes some compatibility files that conflict with the espeak package
and prevent parallel installation. Wouldn't it be sufficient to split
those two files into an espeak-ng-compat package?


usr/bin/espeak
usr/include/espeak/speak_lib.h
