Hi,

I forgot that doing before, so forgive me sending this mail now and not
earlier... ;)

"Packages MUST NOT use virtual package names (except privately, amongst
a cooperating group of packages) unless they have been agreed upon and
appear in this list."

OK, as the procedure describes, here I am :)

Proposal:

@@ -88,6 +88,7 @@
  dict-server             the Dictionary Server
  info-browser            something that can browse GNU Info files
  ispell-dictionary       a dictionary for the ispell system
+ myspell-dictionary      a dictionary for the myspell system
  man-browser             something that can read man pages
  wordlist                a /usr/share/dict/words (*)
  www-browser             something that can browse HTML files

The new policy for the former openoffice.org-spellcheck-* packages
(included in the "Debian Spelling Dictionaries and Tools Policy")
has written in it that they should provide myspell-dictionary
and myspell-dictionary-* (that's a special exception for
the openoffice.org-l10n-* packages to suggests an matching dictionary)
and openoffice.org / mozilla-spellchecker[1] / ... should
suggest/recommend/... myspell-dictionary.

I think that is just a logical approach seeing that we already
have aspell-dictionary and ispell-dictionary...
