I sent this message to dict-common-dev from a misconfigured system
and I guess it was rejected, sending it again, next week below

That sounds reasonable at the current state of the emacs problem.

If there are no objections or somebody propose something better I plan
to include iso-8859-15 in ispell.el at some time in next week, and
modify the policy for that.

Agreed, better not to add incompatibilities unless really needed. The
only dependency to be added will be for dicts having a iso-8859-15
emacs entry on a dictionaries-common version at least the one providing
iso-8859-15.
