Binary package hint: alpine
alpine's debian/rules configures it it
--with-
which according to the changelog has been in Debian since 0.82+dfsg-4.
However, if you build it without aspell installed on your local system, ./configure reports:
checking for aspell... no
checking for ispell... no
checking for spell... no
checking for aspell... no
checking for ispell... no
and then builds the resulting binary without spell-checking support. You can confirm this by installing alpine, starting the composer with "alpine <email address hidden>", scrolling to the message body, and pressing Ctrl-T.
If you install aspell on the build system before configuring, the build process successfully finds aspell, and Ctrl-T works in the resulting binary. I've only tested this on a build server in an Intrepid chroot, building in a clean environment and then after manually installing aspell, but I believe the same packaging bug applies to Hardy as well.
So, alpine's package needs to Build-Depend on aspell, so it's present for ./configure, and to Depend on (or at least Recommend) aspell, so it's available for use on the target system.
