Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 1.10.5
Severity: minor
Justification: cosmetic

Hi,

In today's upgrade, I was prompted:

   ┌───────────┤ Dictionaries-common: Ispell dictionary ├──────────────┐
   │ Because more than one ispell dictionary will be available in your │
   │ system, please select the one you'd like applications to use by   │
   │ default.                                                          │
   │                                                                   │
   │ You can change the default ispell dictionary at any time by       │
   │ running "select-default-ispell".                                  │
   │                                                                   │ 
   │ System's default ispell dictionary:                               │
   │                                                                   │
   │           american (American English - medium)                    │
   │           british (British English)                               │
   │           Manual symlinks setting                                 │

I never explicitly chose to install ispell or dictionaries-common, and
nowadays I have a hard time keeping track of ispell, aspell, and
hunspell dictionaries and which programs use which.  Maybe this could
give some advice in that direction?  Is this asking me what dictionary
to use with the "ispell" command and some text editors that might
invoke it, or is the effect wider than that?  In other words, is there
any easy way to see which applications will respect this setting?

"Because more than one ispell dictionary will be available" does not
seem like a relevant thing to say, now that multiple ispell
dictionaries seems to be the default.

What does "American English - medium" mean?  Perhaps the prompt could
explain it?

What does "Manual symlinks setting" mean?  Maybe the prompt could
explain what symlink is being set, or which README file explains this
in more detail?

The alternate screen shows

        [ispell,dc_debconf_select] error: [american (American English)] does 
not correspond to any package

Is that a bug?

Thanks for your work, and hope that helps,
Jonathan
