Well, gst-espeak is now in SP-0.84 list[1](and will migrate to SP-0.86)
it should mean that if maintainers of any GNU/Linux distribution want
sugar(in wide sense i.e. core+honey) to be runnable they should provide
SP meta package(or so).

At present there are several distributions that satisfy SP:
* Mandriva2009.1
* Caixa Magica 12 Magelan
* ALTLinux Sisyphus
* OpenSUSE X11::Sugar
* Gentoo sugar overlay
* SoaS

Unfortunately I don't know who builds XO distribution
and does it satisfy SP or not.
