I think it's a good idea to kill aspell-bin and just move that stuff
into aspell.

Please take a look at these new packages I've prepared for the GCC 4.0
transition here:

  http://people.debian.org/~pyro/pending/

and let me know what you think.  They aren't fully ready to support
auto-hash-building, but I want to make sure they won't break it either.
Here's the contents of the changelog:

aspell (0.60.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/control: renamed libaspell15 to libaspell15c2 for the GCC 4.0
    ABI change transition
  * debian/control: dropped a ton of old cruft in the conflicts/replaces
    lines
  * debian/rules: pass configure flags to change pkglibdir and pkgdatadir
    from /usr/lib/aspell-0.60 to /usr/lib/aspell, which is needed to make
    dictionary auto-hash-building transitions to newer Aspell versions
    less painful.  Note that this breaks all current aspell dictionary
    packages which install into /usr/lib/aspell-0.60.
  * debian/control: conflict with aspell6-dictionary packages, depend on
    aspell6a-dictionary packages instead
  * debian/control: merged aspell-bin back into aspell, since there really
    isn't any point in distinguishing between the two, especially when
    dictionary auto-hash-building becomes the norm.
