Is beagle going to be in Core straight away ? I thought it would be in 
Extras first. In which case, no need to move packages around.

Very strange, OpenDocuments are just zipped XML. Shouldn't be hard to index.

I maintain wv in Extras. It's at version 1 for the moment, but I've had 
requests to upgrade it to version 2 (it can only be done in devel for the 
moment, because of dependencies). If Beagle requires wv < 2, I'll have to 
make a second package (wv2). Couldn't Beagle use wv2 ?

No, I coded it crappily on purpose, just so that I could say "There's
plenty of room for optimization."
