building a custon talking debian installation image with build essential and other packages on the disc as well as the mate accessible desktop
Hi, I am totally blind and know about pressing s to start the installer with speech as I do this then go back to the main menu and set debconf priority to low so I have the most control during the installation process. I looked into the simple-cdd package for building a debian installation image but could not find out how to include the full mate debian desktop with orca the screen reader setup for speech as well as build-essential and other development packages. What would be the best process for building such an image that starts automatically at low priority with speech running and a highor volume level then normal for systems where you would like speech to be not so soft during the installation process?

Arg. We've had two issues back-to-back this week. One's expected and commonplace (kernel ABI change) and you'll see that causing build failures in the logs we *do* have. The other is a build-dependencies failure on grub-efi-*-signed, which causes things to fail before the public logs even start. I'm hoping the next build in ~6h will work OK - I've just prodded ftpmaster about the signing queue. Hopefully this should *not* cause issues like this again in future, as I've relaxed the dependencies around the signed packages.
