Dear Maintainer,

Please bring back the ability to start Install with speech synthesis by using s
<enter> in the devuan installer. The removal of this option has caused confusion as evidenced by discussions on the speakup mailing list which isn't currently archived.
Most users don't bother to look for BOOTHELP.txt on the install CD/DVD images. The change to the boot menu is also not documented in the Daedalus release notes, even though I provided text documenting the change during discussions on the DNG mailing list.
Bringing back s <enter> to start the install with speech synthesis also means this would remain constant if the boot menu were to change from what it is in Daedalus in the future.
I will be providing a URL to this bug report on the speakup list so that others
may share their thoughts on this issue.
Thank you for considering this important issue.
