Hi Andras, I'll leave it to Willie Walker to provide additional detail here as needed.
Fundamentally, folks are working hard to fix this bug in the packagemanager GUI. Separately, the question of whether accessibility is on/off by default for *all* users is distinct from whether an individual user can turn it on for *their* default use so that it is on whenever they log in. Or in this case, when they go to install their desktop (which means it must be on the LiveCD). If they cannot have an accessible desktop until they have downloaded additional packages, then we have a rather serious chicken/egg problem. As has been pointed out in that (and/or perhaps related) thread(s), the command line is also an option for users who want to download additional packages (and need accessibility support in the case that this bug isn't fixed).
