Debian includes speakup and brltty in some of the official CD images. See this web page for instructions on where to download the daily built images and how to install with speech or Braille.
http://brl.thefreecat.org/wiki/moin.cgi/debianSpeakup, orca and a lot of the other screen readers are in the debian repository. So you can use aptitude to install them or keep them updated if they are already installed.

I might also add that debian (as far as I know) doesn't come with speakup by default.Basically it's a less bloted version of ubuntu, past that I'm not sure.

You can install speakup on ubuntu, butby default debian doesn't install with gui unless you check it, where as it's bundled with ubuntu.
