It expects you know how to use the command line and once you get used to it, it should be pretty simple and fast (if everything works as expected).
Assuming you extracted downloaded package to some directory, which is now your working directory in the command line, the installation should proceed with typing the three following commands, as described in the README. ./configure make make install You have to be the root at least for the last command and you must have installed the "make" package for the second and third command to work. Going into greater details how to work with the command line is probably out of the scope of this mailing list, but feel free to send me an e-mail if you get stuck but willing to strive further and seeking further help. > or a way of adding it to available packages? The right way how to formally request some software to be packaged in the Debian distribution is to fill the so called RFP bug (Request for package: https://wiki.debian.org/RFP). This can be generated either by reportbug (text interface; package name: reportbug) or reportbug-ng (graphical interface; package name: reportbug-ng) and then sent to the bug tracking system by e-mail (see an old request for the Serbian dictionary with replies in the bug tracking archive : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628528) Note that Debian is made by volunteers, so the request has to wait until someone with enough spare time and interested in Yiddish and/or aspell notices, and after that, it will take some time to do the work. And once the packaging is done, it will take some time for the package to bubble into the "stable" repository. Do not expect the package in the apper tomorrow.
