Public bug reported:

Availability: In universe, builds for all archs.

Rationale: We are currently maintaining a delta to Debian in the
libvoikko library by disabling HFST support. Enabling HFST support by
syncing libvoikko from Debian would bring libhfstospell9 as a runtime
dependency to libvoikko, which is why this MIR is required. While
libvoikko's inbuilt VFST support is continued to be used for Finnish,
the traditional use case for libvoikko, hfst-ospell brings libvoikko
spell checking to languages like Greenlandic, Northern Sami, Lule Sami
and Southern Sami (requires corresponding zhfst data file to be
installed in standard Voikko location like the one included in giella-
sme binary package).

Security: No known security history. No daemons or services.

Quality assurance: No bugs open in Debian or Ubuntu. The released Debian
9.0 ships with hfst-ospell and HFST support enabled in libvoikko.
Recently build time tests were fixed so that they are executed and pass
on all architectures. A Launchpad team https://launchpad.net
/~giellatekno-hfst-voikko was founded in 2016 for tracking Ubuntu bugs
if any will be filed.

Dependencies: All binary dependencies are in main.

Standard compliance: Packaging seems compliant with minor lintian
warnings.

Maintenance: Maintained by Debian Science Team and Tino + Kartik
specifically who are part of the bigger HFST project.
