Bug Description

Speech-dispatcher cannot start on a fresh boot of dapper, as the home directory of the user it creates is /var/ru/speech-dispatcher, and as /var/run is mounted tmpfs on dapper, this gets lost every reboot, causing speech-dispatcher to fail to start.

Fix attached.

   * Typo in Festival use instructions fixed; closes: #326992.
   * Remove speech-dispatcher user on `remove' instead of `purge'. Remove
     its home directory with `rm -r' instead of `deluser --remove-home'.
     Change owner of the home directory in postinst. Change owner of the
     log directory recursively. Closes: #348241.
