Looks fine to me.
Only wonder if it would not make more sense to rename the variable to
BOOT_BEEP or BEEP_ON_BOOT or SYSLINUX_BEEP. MENU could easily be confused

I don't think it's smart to use USE_UDEBS_FROM here. Better use a
dedicated variable. Also, please use '[ ] && [ ]' instead

module? It just does not make any sense to me.
