installing speakup (etc) in a VirtualBox VM

[Rich Morin]

I've been putting together VirtualBox VMs that start with Ubuntu and add lots
of blind-friendly packages.  For example: emacspeak, espeak-ng, espeak-ng-data,
espeakup, fenrir, mbrola-*, orca, speech-dispatcher, ...

I suspect that I'll be getting into a lot of configuration issues eventually
(pointers and suggestions welcome!), but at the moment I'm just trying to find
out whether I need to install speakup and speakup-doc and how to do so.  Help?
