Package: speechd-el
Version: 2.7-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


In modern gnome at least, speech-dispatcher's socket lives in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, 
which is rooted at /run/user/uid.
This package seems hard-coded for unix sockets in the user home directory, so 
it doesn't work on stretch GNOME.

I file as grave because I believe enough users who want accessibility will be 
using gnome to make the package generally unusable.  If your analysis of the 
user base is different, then perhaps it is only important.
Either way it would be nice to fix.
