I'll say it the installer is broke!!!!!
I've had it install orca and company also.
The last install I did using the installer I had a great number of
packages that had to be removed as I wanted a somewhat minimum
install.
The only problem here is that orca is not necessarily installed by the
installer. I do a command line only installation, no X, no desktop,
etc. And it does not install orca. orca is pulled in by "apt install
task-xfce-desktop".
Aha! My fav, not too much eye candy desktop, been using it on everything
since at least wheezy. But liking xfce has nothing to do with being
blind. So how did that dependency sneak into debian ????????? Its not
part of xfce4 on armbian jammy, no clue about noble yet but it will be
on my next 3d printer.. So now I know what pulls it in.
But why is it needed on debian????????
If you really object to having orca, I suggest you find out which
package(s) pull(s) in orca, and see if you can remove it as a
dependency.
