Package: festival
Version: 1:2.1~release-6
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainers,

When choosing a language in festival, the language selection routines
try to set up some generic voice aliases and choose an appropriate
default voice. However, there is no guarantee that the chosen voice is
actually installed. In particular, while festival recommends the
American voice kal_diphone as default, "festival --language english"
only works when rab_diphone is installed, english being an alias of
britishenglish.

Since proclaim_voice already mentions the language and dialect, it
seems to me that it should be possible for language selection to
choose an installed voice that supports the requested language,
without any modification of the existing voices.

Thanks,
Ryan
