Hello, I agree with people saying this bug should NOT be present in Etch. I had my share of experiences with this and is nerve wrecking[1].
For new installations the user will need hacker skills to disable it and new users don't have that nor are perseveren enough to try to fix it. IMNSHO, I think the beeping should be DISABLED by default. Why? - New and old[1] users are annoyed by this (since the default tone and level are way too high) - The only people that I can think of that could USE the beeps are blind people or people with sight disabilities. - People WANTING it could could comment the option in /usr/share/readline/inputrc the thing and this would fit (usually, their hack-fu level is high) I should note that, the pcspkr module is used by gdm, by default, too (not sure if that should be disabled by default, too).
