I humbly beg to differ here. One of the things I like about debian,
(at least as far as installations of Etch were concerned), is that
doing a basic install, without running tasksel, gave you a system
about 400 Mb in size. Having orca installed as part of a base install
implies also installing x11, and gnome, which would bloat the installed
system significantly, and wouldn't be desirable for those who just
want to install a basic text console machine. Bloat is one of the
things I don't like about Ubuntu's install, and I seem to also recall
reading posts from people on this list who claim that an install of
GRML is also bloated, though I can't speak from experience, since the
last time I tried installing GRML to HD was a few years ago, and
things might have changed since then.
