Ok, so what you can do is just rebuild the debian package on Ubuntu,
that will be much simpler for the integration with other packages. You
can install these packages:

devscripts
wget
dpkg-dev
build-essential

then run this to get the Debian source:
dget 
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-debug/20210617T024426Z/pool/main/s/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher_0.11.0~rc2-1.dsc

If it didn't unpack the tarballs, you can use 

dpkg-source -x speech-dispatcher_0.11.0~rc2-1.dsc

Then you can build:

cd speech-dispatcher-0.11.0~rc2
dpkg-buildpackage -b

and that will build all the .deb files, which you can install by hand,
the simplest is probably to just install all those that you already have
installed:

cd ..
sudo dpkg -iO *.deb

That's actually a leftover. I have now removed the script.

Ah, yes, "make install" usually needs to be run as root.
