You know what?  The Emacspeak espeak server also works with yasr, and it
can be built independently of the rest of Emacspeak.  The only
dependencies it pulls are tcl, tclx, and espeak.  I think this is like 5
or 6 megs, not including espeak.
You're already pulling in espeak,, so tcl and tclx aren't such a big
deal, I think.
Problem is, the espeak server isn't packaged separately in Debian, even
though it can be built separately.
Anyway, Emacspeak itself is just fine with emacs-nox.
