No, the Ubuntu build daemons will never build F-Spot against beagle. The former is in main, the latter is in universe. The build process for main never installs packages from universe - and if there's a build dependency on universe packages, it fails to build. In fact, beagle's demotion to universe was what made me remove that dependency in the first place. However, I wholly agree that beagle support should be turned into the extension. Alternatively, maybe it could be rewritten to use libbeagle?
