Glad it's fixed, but just for the record, elpa package should not have
to be required. They have their autoloads loaded automatically.

Looking at beginend-autoloads.el, it seem that `(beginend-setup-all)`
(without the backquote) is what should be in the init file for the
Debian version of the package.

Looking further on github, it seem that the 2.0.0 version lack a

   ;;;###autoload

on the line before the

   '(define-minor-mode beginend-global-mode


This has been fixed upstream (but not yet released) in commit
ebf58d62a84f2c186c690651166f26db3a419c5c

(Remarque that beginend-global-mode just call beginend-setup-all, so...,
also I believe this fix is against freeze policy for now)
