Something that is confusing is that when installing Debian with the kernel boot parameter 'DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text', 'Debian desktop environment' is not the desktop that is "accessible". Furthermore, while I value the talking installer ("install Debian with speatch"), the default desktop environment should be the one propose by Debian. A warning should be displayed saying something like "the 'debian desktop environment' is currently less accessible then Mate". I'll go back to a point I already raised, that is, the Debian talking installer shouldn't presume the Debian defaults and ask for any changes that involve accessibility. -- John Doe
