Orca is curently installed by default on Debian systems, by being a
dependency of task-{kde,lxde,lxqt,xfce,mate}-desktop and gnome.

In most of these desktop environments, pressing control-logo-s starts
Orca. Ideally all desktop environments would support this shortcut.
You may want to look at my conference for debconf15, see the
accessibility-devel page.

That's the problem with accessibility: the exact set depends on the
user. If we were to define a "reasonable" list of packages we could
argue that this should just as well be installed by default (like Orca
is) so that a Debian system would by default be able to let anybody be
able to work reasonably well.

Ssh is installed when you enable the ssh task. Apparently avahi is not,
but that would be something to discuss with debian-boot@.
