The other possibility would be symlinks from /usr/share/enchant/ispell=20
to dicts under /usr/lib/ispell, to be provided by each ispell dictionary =

package, e.g.,

/usr/share/enchant/ispell/espanol.hash -> /usr/lib/ispell/espa~nol.hash

using the names found in ispell_checker.cpp.

With the current values in ispell_checker.cpp, I am afraid this is the=20
way to go, since in Debian norwegian ispell dictionary, norsk can be=20
chosen either as bokm=E5l or as nynorsk, while in ispell_checker.cpp nors=
k=20
is hardcoded as bokm=E5l (that is what nb_NO means). Having these per=20
package symlinks seems more flexible than having a single symlink at=20
libenchant1 package, but puts a bit more noise in each ispell dict packag=
e.

What do you think?
