As I understand, on Ubuntu, BRLTTY is not start automatically except if 
the braille device is clearly identifiable to avoid such issue. I've not 
look into the Ubuntu packaging but I've seen this mechanism mentioned in 
bugs report.

I personally think the Debian approach is the more reliable because if 
the user installs the distribution without assistive technology we could 
assume he has sighted assistance to be able to install BRLTTY after the 
installation.

Best regards,
Alex.
