There's now a testbuild of GRML_MEDIUM (64-bits) with espeakup, espeak
and brltty at this URL:
http://jenkins.grml.org/job/grml-medium-amd64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/2011-11-03_15-13-18/grml_isos/autobuild_2011-11-03_15-13-18.iso

Please test it; let us know if it works, if it doesn't, if it's
missing something, etc.

Note that this build has some ALSA/Sound support, which is something
that might get removed, too. Don't know if this would have any
impact on you.
