Fixed attached.

Hrmmmmmm, I'm not completely happy with that. Unfortunately debian/tmp/usr/bin/festival-synthesis-driver gets installed to the lib package too. It'd make more sense to have a gnome-speech package, which contains the binaries, or somtehing like libgnome-speech-bin

The problem is, that if they do an API change and bump the soname we will have to replaces/conflicts the old package... oh well. Maybe we should just do it. (will look into it again after Flight 6 Freeze).

Considering that test-speech comes with gnome-speech anyway, I am sure they would update everything in the package if the abi were to change.

This tool is useful for people who may be experiencing problems with either orca or gnopernicus, and need to find out for sure whether it is speech that is not playing nice.

If we move from libgnome-speech3 to libgnome-speech4, the packages would clash (because they both install stuff to /usr/bin) - so we'd have to conflicts/replaces the old package every time. Not sure if that's desirable. :-/
