Many of such things should come from the aspell people. For instance 
aspell dicts naming scheme. I think that the widespread use is 
aspell-language_code. This implies that all variants for the same 
language should be provided in the same package. Since it is also 
desirable that the same ispell dict source be the aspell dict source the 
naming scheme should be extended to variants having different ispell 
sources, e.g., portuguese european and portuguese brazilian, coverint 
not only the language code but also a variant code. Unless you are 
thinking about a different naming scheme, what I doubt.

I think we should currently add to the policy requirements all aspell 
dicts must have. At a later stage we might thing of some sort of helpers 
    like those we have for ispell dicts and wordlists. Since aspell 
relies (unless otherwise stated in the config file) in the definition of 
variable LANGUAGE, seems that there is no need of all the debconf stuff 
for default selection.
