Yes, I have. The CD I burned is in front of me as I write and I plan to

The subject pretty much says it all. As of the "gnome" metapackage version

I'm glad to see that finally KDE is getting some accessibility work done
on it. I have no idea how well this is implemented or available in
Debian, but it would be nice to have a choice between KDE and Gnome as
sighted users do. Scroll down a bit to get to the part about accessibility.
