Warning: Cannot find word list "en.utf-8.spl" or "en.ascii.spl"
$ locate en.utf-8.spl
/usr/share/vim/vim80/spell/en.utf-8.spl
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/vim/vim80/spell/en.utf-8.spl
vim-runtime: /usr/share/vim/vim80/spell/en.utf-8.spl
The package could "suggest" vim-runtime and use them if they are already
there
If could not even suggest vim-runtime if you are against that, but use them
anyway if they are there :P
Maybe its not optimal, but I mean, why not. 80% of benefit with 20% of the
work, right?
To save some time to those coming after me trying to use spell files
already shipped with debian on neovim
$ ln -s /usr/share/vim/vim80/spell/ ~/.config/nvim/
on nvim
:set spell
