That is strange. Should not happen. The accessibility is installed only 
if you press s or if you plug a braille device.

Perhaps you can provide your /var/log/installer log somewhere to enable 
the team to see what happent? Better, you could report bug to 
debian-installer (but probably show here the log first). The log will be 
required anyway.

Note waiting for a good solution for packages, in your desktop, you can 
disable the accessibility via the control panel.

ALso see wiki.debian.org/accessibility where you see the gsetting line 
to enable accessibility (type the same one replacing true with false to 
revert the thing).

That is a bug I see for the first time. Hence my interest for a log, as 
so far no one reported it AFAIK.
