It has long been Debian and Ubuntu policy to pack shared libraries into 
their own package, and package any development files related to that 
library into another. So for this, we have libespeak1 and libespeak-dev. 
The espeak-data package contains all the voice related files that go in 
/usr/share/espeak-data. Espeak-data is needed by both libespeak1 and 
espeak.

The first packages of espeak 1.15 that were uploaded lacked the 
dependency for the espeak-data package, which has been fixed in the 
latest package version, 1.15-0ubuntu2.

The best place to track packages is on the launchpad page at 
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/espeak

The newest revision will eventually filter down through all other sites 
like packages.ubuntu.com, and the archive mirrors.

Hope this helps.
