I still don't think it will fly:

- either the user is not knowledged about mbrola voices, and he will
just install mbrola-nl* and wonder for a long time why they do not
show up in high-level speech interfaces.

- or he is knowledged about mbrola voices, he will have to be anyway,
to use these voices, since no tool exists to use them, and he is
actually already able to fetch voices from the mbrola website.

In short: shipping mbrola-nl* will not help people who wouldn't know
about to fetch them from the mbrola website anyway. So it won't help
anybody. If we were to upload mbrola-nl*, we should as well upload
*all* mbrola voices, which is very big, and only to bring frustration
to users which will wonder why these voices don't actually work.
