Hello,

The systemd .service file using Alias= and not symlink but as service is
not enabled, the symlink is not created.

That means that the LSB script and the systemd service are not linked
together.

Correct, such aliasing symlinks to align sysv and systemd names should be shipped as static symlinks in the package and not be created dynamically.

Best is to drop the Alias= statement of the service and create a symlink
next to it (speech-dispatcher.service -> speech-dispatcherd.service)

In addition to that, any existing, dynamically created symlink in /etc should be removed on upgrades, i.e.

/etc/systemd/system/speech-dispatcher.service
