Besides Ubuntu, that runs on my laptop, I use GRML on my desktop machine. 
In 
GRML brltty also comes without SD support. But It can be easily set up, by 
building the latest brltty from the source, and you've no difficaulties 
linking it to SD. So why not in Ubuntu? One of the most important 
differences to propriatary operating systems is, that Linux leaves it up 
to the user how he/she sets up the system. So why asking for permission 
whether we are allowed to set up Ubuntu for our needs?
A lot of users use the text console besides the GUI - or they use it 
mainly.
And BTW: It was not the user's decission to take away speakup.
