It seems that you have accumulated a quite large knowledge about aspell
(larger than mine, anyway, which is almost inexistent).  Once the specific
needs for the aspell support are identified, I would gladly contribute with
the implementation.

If the sid version of dictionaries-common comes out with complete aspell
support, that will be a big win.
