How annoying!

Yes, this option only controls the beep which happens at the end of
boot.

FWIW there would be nothing wrong with editing the existing file in
place -- Debian handles modifications of this sort very well on upgrade.

In 0.4.2-7+wheezy2 the fan_error function would have been empty, so do
you know for sure it wasn't being triggered previously too?

I'd rather not do this (ask the user) unless there is absolutely no
alternative.

It's possible that there is a GPIO e.g. you can distinguish TS-119 from
TS-219 via GPIO 44. Unless you've got a 209 to compare your 109 against
though I'm not sure how to find out.
Perhaps Martin (CCd) has a 209 and/or can ask QNAP?

I'm afraid he's not, I took over and created a new upstream at
https://gitorious.org/qcontrol . I'm using the Debian bugtracker for
upstream too so this report is already in the right place.
