I'm here!
If difficult? It depends.
I don't know how Debian boot/root installation disks are made. I already
modified Slackware and Red Hat boot disks: Slackware = very easy, Red Hat
= need little hacking (you need to replace init by a stub init to do a
fork and so on...). If debian contains some startup scripts, you just
have to compile BRLTTY with all settings right in the Makefile, copy it to
the bootdisk and call it from the startup script.
And of course BRLTTY supports Alva.
Anyway if you need more help tell me!
