AFAIK all is needed is enabling it in /etc/default/brltty and running update-initramf -u (which prints "Installing BRLTTY into initramfs) > I also think that the dependencies of BRLTTY prevent it from being started by > systemd at an earlier stage.

I tried to install a system with an encrypted /home, and brltty does get started before the /home passphrase step. You can probably check journalctl and other systemd tools to see what is actually happening. Samuel
