Isn't the solution then to upgrade the master word list (perhaps from the one 
found in this myspell package), so the problem gets fixed for ispell, aspell 
and myspell rather than for myspell alone? Or am I perhaps misunderstanding 
something here?

In the past, the ispell, aspell, and myspell dictionaries for Brazilian
Portuguese were generated from the br.ispell source package.  Today, only
ispell is generated from it.  Unfortunately, development of br.ispell seems
to have stopped.

I agree with you that it would be better to generate the three dictionaries
from a single, up-to-date word list, but I am not willing to commit myself
with such development, due to time constraint.  On the other hand, I am
willing to maintain the separate packages developed by different upstream
authors.

  Description : Brazilian Portuguese dictionary for myspell

The myspell-pt-br package exists already in Debian but is generated from the
br.ispell pacakge, which is also maintained by me.  The dictionary used in
br.ispell is largely outdated as regards the dictionary distributed by the
BrOffice team.  Hence this ITP.
