The Debian Installer detects the presence of a braille device and then

The idea of detecting the presence (or absence) of a blind-related device seems
worth pursuing, even if there are some issues to be resolved.
For example, following Jude's notion of checking for a monitor, maybe Avahi and
SSH could be enabled whenever a monitor isn't found. For that matter, ena

I can think of a couple of issues with this approach. First, there are various
reasons for leaving a monitor off a system. For example, if a RasPi is being

Thanks to everyone for considering these questions, offering suggestions, etc.
Here are some comments and clarifications.

Yes, but I don't think it is a good option. For most impact, it's

That's not a valid assumption necessarily - what about on machines

I know this should probably be discussed on the Official Raspberry
Foundation mailing list if such a thing exists, but a few thoughts:
1. At present, Raspbian enables ssh by creating a blank file called
ssh in the boot partition and then booting the card. Could a similar
method be used for enablin

But we don't necessarily want to ask the question on all Debian systems
at all boot.

Fenrir is also quite heavy-weight, since it brings python. B
In another forum, I've been told that Orca is a rather heavyweight solution for
providing boot-time speech generation. It was recommended that I consider
Fenrir, instead. So, recasting my question, what would it take to make these
changes to the default Debian installation?
