right. i forgot it because it is encoded in the name of the pwli file

no, it isn't policy compliant :( #144883

i was thinking at something like update-pspell-ispell-pwli. once i wrote
update-pspell-ispell-pwli i understood that your c) was my best way. and
though to send a "couple" of bug reports to ispell dictionary packages
(bug reports that i never sent).

pspell-ispell 0.12-6 hasn't make-ispell-pwli anymore. indeed it is
completely broken, since no ispell dictionaries know that a pwli file
is required.

seconded. this would suffices for the needs of pspell-ispell.
