I have now added this feature. A package is ready for testing at mentors: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/festival/festival_1.96~beta-6.dsc Please note that I now use debconf to ask for the password to be entered. I have tested that the system works fine, but as this is my first debconf experience, a quick review would be appreciated, followed by upload, as this is a security bug. Thanks.
