Hi. you should be able to set the other gnome accessibility packages to manual. Have you tried the following? Use underline to purge gnome-orca. When you get the list of other packages aptitude wants to remove, use plus to over ride aptitude's decision. That did work for me the last time I tried it.
Hope this helps.
