This should fail a lot earlier, maybe in pkg_pretend ?

a *stable* package fails - hhm

Can't we last rights this package already?
Speakup has been in the kernel since what, 2.6.37?
As far as I can tell, the only kernel package in the tree that will
actually work with this is sys-kernel/pf-sources.
