We just had another package that likes and wants more symlinks, and I'm going to approve that and add more symlinks. I don't think removing them is the way to go atm, rather firefox and thunderbird could do something to deduplicate them (but it needs to be clever, as not necessarily all en_* (or w

My point: It is difficult or even impossible for people to add a new spellcheck in Chromium. It does not take short period for a language to collect enough statistics to build a spellchecker. At least it takes the following steps: 1. Well documented. 2. Revival it for using it more. 3. Have enou
