I am away with very limited internet access. Sorry to be late

Please note that the pulseaudio override is *not* present or required in 
chimaera: the issue it addresses in buster/beowulf has been resolved in 
bullseye.

When I am back, I will be happy to add a speechd.conf override package. 
That is precisely the idea behind the config override packages: to solve 
issues inherited from Debian without the overhead of maintaining forks of
entire packages.
