Comment 3 for bug 170771

I know what you mean, I've used that feature of OOo's format
many times. There are benefits to both packaged and
embedded systems. What I really don't like is linked data
where the links to objects are in different files entirely,
whether or not they're in the same directory. OOo links
images by default if you drag them into a document, but
"embeds" them (by including them in the file package) if you
use the Insert menu. I have taken OOo presentations
somewhere on disk several times, only to find out I had
linked files that weren't on the disk! Really annoying...

So regardless of whether everything is in a package that's
just a renamed .zip file or not, things should never be
linked by default when saved, it's too easy to break the
links by moving the .svg or whatever it links to.

Another point -- it might be great to have File-Roller
support opening SVG files with mime-encoded embedded objects
as an archive. That way it would be trivial to pull out the
parts you need to edit. I think I'll create a file-roller
bug about that.
