I think that is the same as for ispell dicts, no entry is strictly 
required unless you have the dict installed, but my experience with 
aspell is very low. I would suggest putting only those three english 
variants currently in regions-to-spelling.map (american, british and 
canadian), that corresponds to the english dicts in aspell-en. That way 
we make sure that those entries that were previously provided by 
libpspell4 are always there, thus allowing somebody to use aspell-en for 
all english dicts and ispell for the other ones, without even having 
i{american,british} installed.

Yes, I am also very surprised about how useful is pspell.
