Hi, Reuben, Apart from a couple of minor things it should be mostly up to date. I should indeed update it to 24.4, but mainly to minimize patches. > There’s important new functionality in Emacs 24.4’s versions: in particular, > it looks at dictionary files themselves to compute entries for > ispell-dictionaries-alist. > > As far as I can tell, at least using hunspell, I’ve no need to load any of > the dictionaries-common elisp any more.

There are some non XEmacs compatible changes in Emacs 25 in the *spell.el parts, so I am planning to stop providing patched ispell.el and flyspell.el Emacs in dictionaries-common, although will still provide current version for XEmacs. I am rather busy now, but I'd like to do that for 24.5, once it reaches Debian. Since all changes needed for Debian integration should already be in upstream versions, this should not cause problems.
