But that sort of user would never have installed beep to begin with, so it doesn't matter.
Well, that sort of user would most probably be at the mercy of their distro provider to install software that they would deem "necessary" for the smooth operation of the OS. While this might be a relatively unlikely/benign utility, it wouldn't take too long for something more necessary to be exploited. Most probably in the form of an unpatched/out of date library.
