I cannot reproduce your failure. I can install emacspeak-ss with no
problem on my system.  

I have not worked with pbuilder before.  However, I tried

  apt-get install cowbuilder
  cowbuilder --create
  cowbuilder --login
  apt-get install emacspeak-ss
  
and it installed fine.

I'm inclined to think there's something odd about your pbuilder chroot.

emacspeak and emacspeak-ss use debconf.  I see from the pbuilder
documentation that you're supposed to set

    export DEBIAN_FRONTEND="readline"
 
in /etc/pbuilder/pbuilder.conf, or maybe "dialog".  I tried both
settings, and the default "noninteractive", and all three worked.  What
setting are you using?

If you create a new chroot from scratch, does it show the same problem?
