I feel uncomfortable thinking to upload large files just to use a little bit of data... I presume that djvu are saved as "bundled" files, have you any new about saving them as "indirect" files, t.i. as single pages + an index file and some rather small pieces? Who could give me some detail about djvu files storage, and about projects to develop their management?

I opened a "bold bug" in Bugzilla asking for some API actions bridging API and djvulibre routines; who is in your opinion an API developer which could be interested about such a rough idea?

I'll try to test some routines to manage both image and text layers of
our itsource djvu files. My question: have I to upload them from
Commons, or there's the possibility to access to them/to a copy of them
into some folder of Labs without any need of uploading (painfully) a copy?

No, labs doesn't have media. Only XML dumps and pageview stats. Download from upload.wikimedia.org is supposed to be rather fast though.
