That is the correct procedure I outlined.  No, that won't update the
rest of gnome as there was something like 230 separate binary packages
in Dropline gnome which I installed on my Slackware 12 system.  Can't
say about Debian.  But if I had to update all 230 packages every time
I wanted to update Orca, I'd quit!:)

I think these four are all that's necessary to update to get the
latest accessibility stuff.  I'm basing this partly on some previous
messages  I've read on the list here.Again, I don't know about Debian
but these binary supplements for Slackware such as Dropline or Slacky
don't have a Gnome 2.22 out yet.
