Package: beep
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

After today's upgrade to version 1.4.x, beep no longer works and pops the above
error. After checking its man page, I found out that it tries to access these
devices, in that specific order

/dev/input/by-path/platform-pcspkr-event-spkr
/dev/tty0
/dev/vc/0

and although I have the 1st one (the pc speaker), beep does not seem to be able
to access it.
If I am correct. from the new developer's page in github, I found out that
there is this udev rule that needs to be present.

https://github.com/spkr-beep/beep/blob/master/90-pcspkr-beep.rules

If so, please add the above udev rule to your package.
