I prepared and build¹ a Debian gnome-orca package with the above
mentioned upstream commits that should prevent Orca from freezing (or
appearing to do so). It would be great if you could install the deb²
(checksum below³) and report if it resolves your issues with Synaptic
(as my Orca installation isn't set-upped properly, I don't hear anything).
