Hmmm, well, it doesn't seem to be as far as I can tell. I'm running
testing, which is now being called Lenny/sid, probably until the
debian team separates Lenny from sid later on, and "aptitude show
gnome" gives me:
gnome

Description: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components
This is the GNOME Desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive
desktop, with extra components.
This package depends on a wide range of applications, including
programs for email, messaging, word processing, financial
accounting and more.

I also see there is a gnome-orca package, which is the screen reader
judging from the description, and that's at 2.18. Looking at the orca
pages on gnome.org, it says that orca works with gnome 2.16 or later,
and I wasn't sure therefore what would happen if I installed debian's
gnome 2.14, with gnome-orca. The one time I tried building gnome via
garnome, after installing a whole bunch of needed debian packages
following the garnome docs, I got http 404 errors early in the
fetching process, so I just decided to wait until debian testing moved
to gnome 2.16, or gnome 2.18, thus my question on the subject. Thanks.
