You mean a specific initrd image and a new boot menu item? I thought you were OK with the size :) http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2009/03/msg00387.html Now, the problem with a new boot menu item is the _activation_ of accessibility. The problem actually already holds: some images only have the text initrd (and the braille screen reader but no speakup screen reader), some other images have both the text initrd and the gtk initrd (the latter has both braille and speakup screen readers), and so depending on the image the menu layout can change, and it's thus impossible to know how to select the gtk image so as to get the speakup screen reader. For now we just document the case when both initrds are available. If we add a third initrd things become even more complex. That said, activation of accessibility could be done by a special hotkey that the bootloader recognizes for booting a particular image that has the speakup screen reader, software speech synthesis and sound modules. The choice of the hotkey should probably be done in accordance with other distribution, probably through the a11y.org group.
