It doesn't install Orca, although it should. 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.
