(debian-ispell-add-dictionary-entry '("british+accs" "[A-ZÑÔa-zñô]" "[^A-ZÑÔa-zñô]" "[']" nil ("-B" "-d" "british-w_accents") nil iso-8859-1) "aspell") (setq ispell-dictionary-alist debian-ispell-dictionary-alist)
to my .emacs, set ispell-local-dictionary to "british+accs", and it doesn't work: accented characters are still treated as non-word characters (so "rôle" doesn't spell-check).
If I set ispell-local-dictionary to "francais", then accented characters are accepted as expected.
