This way module-assistant could be used to install the speakup modules and then the patch would stay in place accross kernel upgrades. To take this a step further, it might be a good idea to have a script that could bring the speakup sources up to the latest version and compile that. I'm currently having this problem myself, the speakup modules that come with ubuntu have some major problems but I'm not sure what sources they're using or what is the latest speakup source. Is it the one in the kernel tree or the one from the git repository? The problem is made worse by the speakup version number not being updated and no change log seeming to be available.
