Package: aspell
Many aspell dictionaries depend on the libaspell15 package. with the
next soversion (or the coming C++ ABI change), the package name has to
be changed, as well as other 24 dictionary packages. That's just a
maintainance burden. Package dictionaries may depend on aspell (>=
0.60) instead, but you may argue, that the aspell binary isn't
necessarily needed. Proposing:
- a new libaspell package, which depends on the current libaspell15
package (a provides is not enough, because dictionaries have to
depend on an version, and versioned provides don't yet exist)
- alternatively dictionary packages should depend on aspell.
- a short paragraph in README.Debian as a mini policy.

Closing this bug since only one remaining severely out-dated and broken
aspell dictionary depends on libaspell15.
