Thanks for the info, Anthony

Browsing the last results, for the different source packages,

* rus-ispell has recently been uploaded and is still too young (my
   fault, my testing box already had all the new stuff and I did not
   realized that ispell did not pass to testing, so I sponsored it)

* ispellcat, ispell-da, ispell-fo and dutch are still waiting for new
   aspell, but otherwise seem ready.

* norwegian is also waiting for aspell and out of date in arm (Using sed
   made it need a lot of hours to build in all arches, changing to ssed
   made it fail only in arm. sed really needs a fix for #65458)

* new aspell seems to be ready, but there is also a complex
   dependency on all aspell dictionaries, since the aspell hash format is
   changed and needs to conflict with the old dicts.

The problem with aspell is presumably the same as with ispell, and I 
guess will need the same treatment (by the way, aspell maintaner reads 
the dict-common mailing list as well as do I)
