Because this should go away as soon as possible. It's populated
right now with independent stuff. It is a relict of times where OOo
only would able to handle one dir, and yes, the name was broken.
The "standardized" (in OOo world right now, as mozilla does have its
dictionaries/ symlink) locations is what we transition to.

I don't like keeping clobbering compat symlinks in way but it's better
to have it like everyone else in squeeze.

(Of course, the bugs I'll file about this will be "minor", so it might 
not be done in squeeze completely given how many maintainer do not care about
their dict packages, but we should try)

Grüße/Regards,

Rene
