If you assume there will be a kdelibs-dev that installs 
kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech/kspeech.h and kspeechsink.h, then a kttsd-dev is 
not required.

If you are talking about kdeaccessibility/kttsd/libkttsd, it is convenience 
library for kttsd development.  Anyone working on kttsd will work with the 
entire source, so there should not be a separate libkttsd package.  (But 
don't confuse this with ksayit/KTTSD_Lib, which is a convenience library for 
ksayit.)

There are some things going on with includes that might confuse.  Applications 
using kttsd typically include the kspeech.h and kspeechsink.h files, which 
are installed from kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech.  They define the dcop 
interface to kttsd and are compiled with dcop2idl.  A copy of these files is 
in the compat directory so that kttsd can be built for older KDEs (3.2 and 
above).  configure.in.in detects if the .h files are installed, and if not, 
gets them from the compat directory.  So, as I said, as long as you assume 
there will be a kttsd-dev that installs these .h files, then a kttsd-dev is 
not required.

But you are the expert.  Hope this helps.
