Bug#522634: xterm console beep is broken in 242-1

[Justin Piszcz <jpiszcz@lucidpixels.com>]

Package: xterm
Version: 242-1

Console beep does not work with xterm 242-1 (when I press backspace in 
bash it will beep if it cannot backspace anymore), or when I get e-mail in 
a console-based mail client, it should beep, but it does not.

I installed the old version as a work-around:

Downloaded it from here (for i386):
http://debian.oregonstate.edu/debian/pool/main/x/xterm/xterm_235-2_i386.deb

# dpkg -i xterm_235-2_i386.deb
dpkg - warning: downgrading xterm from 242-1 to 235-2.

And added the following to /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: xterm
Pin: version xterm*
Pin-Priority: 1000
