It would be fine with me if Chromium provided the virtual package and symlink
used to build the .bdic files. My only concern is that it is important that
these always exist in Stable and Old Stable going forward.
Yes. Not only for backporting but as soon as e.g. scowl will use it the
whole thing will be in a key package build-dependency chain
(libreoffice) as hunspell-en-us is used as part of its tests. Probably
even more.
Basically any hunspell dictionary then requires chromium to be there.
On and off ("shipping dictionaries whether chromium is in a good state
or not") is bad.
Otherwise, it
makes backporting Hunspell language packages more difficult (not impossible,
just more time consuming for the language package maintainers).
No hunspell package really needs backporting at all, they are arch all
and can just be installed. :)
And be it with dpkg -i :-)

Related to this - we got approval for chromium to ship in bookworm
(#1004441). That doesn't necessarily mean it'll be in future releases
(trixie or whatever), of course, but if it's easier for the dependency
chain; I'm open to discussing having chromium provide it.
I haven't followed all of this very long thread, so it may be
irrelevant at this point. :)
