Ricardo was surely talking about the Spanish dictionaries. You can get an idea about what was distributed with the langpacks by browsing http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/dictionaries/ If you look at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/dictionaries/es_ES/ only the spelling dict. was distributed (no hyph. nor thes.). A rough analysis http://people.apache.org/~arielch/dictionaries.ods shows that more than half language packs didn't distribute the three DICT, HYPHEN and THES dics.
