No. The wizard is "deprecated" as you might see in recent posts in this list and will be replaced soon.

Otherwise they wouldn't be there. Maybe some licence files are not reflecting that correctly.

This can be addressed by what I proposed above. > So my question was is it possible to bundle dictionaries with language packs. I already answered that: yes. But we must make sure that dictionaries will also be available as individual packages so that a language pack always will contain at least two packages. All package related issues are worked on with target OOo3.0. Martin Hollmichel is doing this. This should be seen in the context of the general change in our way to deal with dictionaries. There are a lot of ongoing discussions, e.g. on the FreeDesktop.org list.
