While this is worked around in the version in unstable, the underlying problem isn't. The problem is that emacs 28 has a new feature called native compilation. It's currently being investigated by the emacs toolchain maintainers how to work around properties of native compilation in the context of a distribution (e.g. on IRC in #d-emacs). Until that's done, emacs 28 will not migrate to testing, hence this issue (and the failure to install emacspeak in unstable, which is currently blocking migration of emacspeak itself) is not affecting testing (yet).
As emacspeak isn't using the default tool (dh-elpa) yet, we may have to fix the code that runs during installation ourselves, but until the emacs maintainers have figured out what's best in general, I propose to wait with fixing it in emacspeak.
Migrating to use dh-elpa will probably mean we don't need to do anything in emacspeak to fix the native compilation problem ourselves, but last time I looked into that, it didn't look trivial for emacspeak. If anybody wants to invest their time into the dh-elpa migration, I would applaud that.
For now, keep an eye on it, prevent removal of emacspeak from testing, and how we don't have to do too much to fix the situation once emacs is ready to migrate.
