Yeah, sure, you can't know.

See e.g. 
https://packages.qa.debian.org/m/myspell/news/20070527T151507Z.html

Tried that a few years ago already, which ended up in the above -
not going to play this game again..

(I hoped testing autoremoval would kick in, but apparently there's some
(key?) dictionary packages needing it so it didn't happen.)

Rene

This is not obvious from the outside, so from my perspective I was fixing
an outstanding RC bug at a BSP. In that context, I do not believe what I
did was a waste of time.

If you feel it should be RM'd, please file such a bug :)

I believe this is a waste of time.
I didn't touch it for a reason even though the fix was easy.

If people really rely on this oboslete software they should adopt it.
But: I believe myspell should be removed. It actually should have been
*years* ago.

The same tools here are in hunspell-tools.
(except
/usr/bin/i2myspell
/usr/bin/is2my-spell.pl)

But I won't oppose the NMU...
