Dear Maintainer,

The file </usr/share/doc/beep/PERMISSIONS.md.gz> says (among other
things):

	Add users to `beep` group
	=========================

	The suggested way to regulate permissions to the speaker device is to
	have the system administrator add all users who should be able to run
	beep to the `beep` group.

	To add user `jane` to the `beep` group, the system administrator has
	to run a command like

	    # usermod jane -a -G beep

However, the package does not create this group.  If the user should
create the group, it should be documented; if the package install should
create the group, then something is not working, because I don't have
that group after having installed 'beep'.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
