Package: beep
Version: 1.2.2-18
Severity: normal

       -e device, --device device
              use  device  as  event  device.  If  the  switch  isn#t   used,
              /dev/input/event0, /dev/tty0 and /dev/vc/0 are tried in turn.

This part of the man page is no longer accurate, it doesn't try even0 by
default.

FWIW, using /dev/input/event0 is the only way to get a local beep on the
nslu2. As noted in #354694, a good way to find the right input device is
looking in /sys. The nslu2 has this:
