Are you sure this is really true?

I'm not blind so my voice might be suspicious, but I find it a lot
easier to use the newt frontend than the text frontend: choosing an
option in a long newt list is just a matter of pressing arrows, while
browsing through the text list is quite tedious.

So you're excluding other languages then.

Are there many people that use the text frontend? The fact that it is
currently only included on access floppies, ia64/hppa cdroms and netboot
images makes me doubt on that.

Really, do you have anything _against_ the "brltty peeks bterm's output"
solution?
