Hi,

Here is the relevant parts of the package cherry-picked back to
our version of the package. I couldn't see anything else that was
critical for the release, but I'm not an emacs expert by any means.

Thanks,

James

This bug was fixed in the package emacspeak - 26.0-3ubuntu1

---------------
emacspeak (26.0-3ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Taken from Debian's 28.0-2, (LP: #269820):
    * lisp/emacspeak-w3m.el, lisp/emacspeak-wizards.el,
      etc/extract-table.pl, etc/ocr-client.pl: Fix unsave temporary file
      handling (back ported from changes checked into the SVN
      server).
    * Drop leading space from direntry line in info/emacspeak.texi,
      which causes the package to fail to install, see e.g. Debian
      #457741.
