Speakup modules missing from kernel after upgrad to Ubuntu Jammy/22.04

[John G. Heim]

After upgrade to Jammy/22.04, the kernel modules for the speakup screen reader are not available .

# modprobe speakup_ltlk
modprobe: FATAL: Module speakup_ltlk not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0-27-generic

Note: This bug is similar to those originally in 21.04 and 21.10. It seems that with each new release, the speakup kernel modules are left out.
