If you are using a stock debian kernel, you don't have to add speakup. 
You just have to load it. I am guessing though that you are asking how 
to load speakup, right? Well, that depends on which speech synth you are 
using. I am going to guess you want to use software speech, right? In 
that case, you will have to add the espeak package. Here are the steps:

1. Type "modprobe speakup_soft"
2. Type "apt-get install espeakup"

Your machine should start talking.


technically not speakup.
