I believe it is planned to have software speech available on the Squeeze installer, but I haven't seen a recent update on the status. Since I have an Accent SA, I haven't payed close attention to the progress on software speech in the installer. There is no problem using software speech after the install. Just aptitude -q install espeakup and make sure speakup_soft is in /etc/modules. This will work on Lenny as well as Squeeze. Although I use software speech after boot, I still let the system start out with the Accent SA so I can hear things like fsck. I switch to software speech first thing after login.
