and may be also extend the work you did for autogeneration of the
regions-to-spelling.map file to look both databases, aspell and ispell,
aspell after a 'pspell-aspell' field containing only the pwli name
stripped of '-aspell.pwli' and the Locale field.

Some of the things should be much simpler than for ispell and wordlists. 
For instance after a quick glance, the equivalent to the 
update-ispell-default file for aspell would be a very simple eight lines 
script since no symlinks need to be set. Seems so simple that probably 
using slice to generate it from 'update-default.in' is much more work 
than installing from a separate file.

Also an installdeb-aspell does not need anything about debconf, so it 
will be much simpler.
