Package: emacs22
Version: 22.1+1-1
Severity: wishlist

The default install appears to have an audible bell enabled. It beeps
for no good reason, such as whenever I press Ctrl-G. This is an evil
usability misfeature that should IMHO be off by default.

To make matters worse the beep goes to the PC speaker and the volume
cannot be controlled, short of blacklisting the pcspkr module.

A workaround is to (setq visible-bell t), or perhaps set
ring-bell-function. Please add this to the Debian default setup to
save users from either going crazy or having to waste time customizing
each install.
