Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

RELEASE: Natty Narwhal

CD/DVD VARIANT: Ubuntu 32bit alternate cd

ISO BUILD: 2010-11-08

SYMPTOMS: There is no voice for the option to install using the screen-reader

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. burn the Ubuntu alternate image to DVD (oversize image won't fit on CD-R)
2. start computer with dvd
3. select language (default - English)
4. hit F5, Accessibility
5. arrow down three times to Screen-Reader
6. hit Enter
7. hit Enter

Note that there is no sound; Screen-Reader is not audible, which makes this fail for accessible installation.

I can confirm that this doesn't work with Natty, at least I heard nothing, but I'm not positive that it ever did work. It might be that this is mistakenly appearing on the alternate CD. I'm setting it to high until we get some more feedback regarding the bug.

Our kernel packages don't provide a speakup-modules udeb (kernel folks: see the speakup-modules implementation in kernel-wedge), so we can't make this work in d-i right now.

I'll just eliminate the option from the boot menu for the time being.

Adding a debian-installer task, since we may have to make some changes once this udeb is available.
