[ note that I am *not* myspell-et's maintainer, but myspell-de-*'s which also 
is buiolt from ispell, but with upstreams Makefile. Which is apparently what 
Björn does also for the de_DE* stuff for the zips ]

Hi,

most packages in Debian do build directly from the ispell stuff and work. 
Thast estonian doesn't is bad but... The point is that building them from 
ispell directly is better maintainance-wise because you then get fixes for 
ispell immediately for the myspell one, too. Not to mention that strictly 
speaking the zips content is "binary" and the ispell stuff is the source so 
it makes sense to build it from the source it comes.

That this in this case might be buggy is a problem, yes, but you comment 
implies that everyone should take the binaries which is not desirable.

Anyway, myspell-et uses a script specific for french for the wordlist 
conversion and ispellaff2myspell for the affix one (which Ain tells me is 
broken). It might make more sense to fix ispellaff2myspell.

Regards,

Rene

BTW: Read the bug severities. Your bug severity was broken. If the dictionary 
is useless, the bug is "grave", not normal...
