> By the way, why do we provide flyspell?. 

flyspell.el has been added to the package when merging changes made by
Roland Rosenfeld.  Here is the changelog entry:

    dictionaries-common (0.3.6) unstable; urgency=low

      [snip]
      * emacsen-support/flyspell.el: Added file, with a 1-line patch from
        Roland.

I do not remember the specific reason to include the file, but Roland had
one, for sure.  Perhaps because is was not yet integrated to (X)Emacs.  I
also do not remember which was the mentioned 1-line patch above.  Roland?

My choice is (a), if there is no need to patch flyspell.el for working
properly with the emacsen support of dictionaries-common.
