Removing brltty will only lead to the removal of its reverse dependencies and so on. This stops at: * brltty-espeak * brltty-flite * brltty-speechd * brltty-x11 None of which you need. Theoretically, removing brltty and orca takes little with it. I don't have brltty installed on neither my bullseye nor my unstable installs. Regards, -- PEB
