Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.2-4
Severity: normal
Hello,
For non-sighted users, gdm3 should beep or at least provide a way to
configure some beep when it is ready. The typical situation is a blind
user installing Debian and enabling the gnome desktop in tasksel. At
reboot, gdm3 will be presented, but the blind user doesn't have any clue
when it is ready to accept keypresses. I don't mean enabling a beep by
default, that could be something that the debian installer enables only
when accessibility was enabled for the installation.
Samuel
