Hello, We would like to upload the attached change to espeakup in Stretch. The story is that the init.d script for espeakup used to avoid starting espeakup if the kernel speakup_soft module is not loaded. When a systemd service was introduced during for Stretch, that part was not ported (making a service automatically disabled when a kernel module is not loaded does not seem to be implemented in systemd), which means that when installing the espeakup package on a system which doesn't have speakup_soft loaded, the service start fails, and thus the package fails to configure. We do not really want to make the espeakup daemon itself stop reporting an error in such case, and it seems that users' preference is that the espeakup service just loads the require module itself anyway, which is what is implemented in the attached changes and has been used in sid for a week then in testing for a week.
