Please proofread beep debconf template



        Hi!

 I ask for opinions on this debconf template. It was long standing
already and I just today received a first feedback on the text of it
(see #492724 if you are interested) so I thought I should offer the
updated template for proofreading on this list. 

#v+
_Choices: usable for all, usable for group audio, usable only for root
_Description: Install beep as:
 beep must be run as root since it needs to access the speaker hardware.
 There are several possibilities to make the program usable:  Either only
 for root (no suid bit at all), executable only by users of the group
 audio, or usable for all.
 .
 Since each program set as suid root can be a security risk this is not done
 by default.  However, the program is quite small (~150 lines of code), so it
 is fairly easy to verify the safety of the code yourself, if you don't
 trust the package maintainer's judgement.
#v-

 Thanks in advance for any suggestions (or just a simple ACK mail to go
ahead with using that :)).
