i beg to differ.
i know a lot of people who hate it and have their cellphones switched to
vibration first thing after powering on the first time.
furthermore, the intended audience of debian/fso should be able to
understand what separate packages mean and thus could be expected to be
able to install an additional package to get sounds.
thirdly, if the sounds are installed by default, why should there be
another package? why not include into fso-frameworkd?

so far i found no config, but removed the files and recreated them with
touch, thus they're empty.
i think i fail to grasp the whole idea of creating an additional pacakge
(with data not necessary only, maybe, useful) and then forcing it upon the
user.
debian users should be familiar with this kind of decisions and able to
... but i repeat myself.
can we at least have a dummy package w/o any sound files if there
absolutely must be a dependency? i simply hate the idea of having those
files lying around for nothing.
