Well, the name currently assigned to the package may indeed be the name used for it in years to come. While new comers may not know of pspell, people who have compiled PHP before with it will, infact that is what they'll expect when configuring their PHP. Since we cannot remove the old pspell option like we seem to agree to do for --with-aspell it is cleaner IMHO to simply add that little bit of text that will tell people new to php that --with-pspell also applies to GNU Aspell. Perpaps, a year down the road when we feel confortable to say that GNU marketing(tm) has made pspell absolete we can make this change.
