Package: beep
Version: 1.4.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #922667

Dear Maintainer,

The instructions did work after a cold boot, done several hours after writing
the previous message. It seems a simple reboot was not enough :P
I installed acl by hand because it was not already installed, not even as a
dependency. Plus, getfacl is not available without the acl package.
On top of that, I also had to add debian-transmission (= the user transmission-
daemon runs as) to the beep group so that it would "beep when done".

Please reconsider about adding acl as a dependency (I assume it has to be a
direct dependency, not just a suggested/recommended one), creating the beep
group and adding the udev rule as well. I do not think it will harm any
existing setups but it will definitely make our lives easier. If all that is
done, documentation is almost not needed. A simple "please add your user to the
beep group" notification, after the installation, is enough.

Thank you :)
