[Tts-project] Bug#914365: python3-speechd fails to list voices if version is different from speech-dispatcher

[Colomban Wendling]

Package: python3-speechd
Version: 0.9.0~rc2-1
Severity: normal
Owner: bugs at hypra.fr

Dear Maintainer,

Installing speech-dispatcher from Experimental but failing to upgrade
python3-speechd results in Orca not able to list voices, because the
communication format changed and it requires a matching
python3-speechd.

I would ask to add a safeguard, like a conflict on speech-dispatcher
against python3-speechd < 0.9.0~ or something to the same effect, to
avoid any installation with a mismatched python3-speechd resulting on
non-working features.

Regards,
Colomban
