Create a separate myspell package for each Spanish-speaking country

[Alessandro Rossini]

The current myspell-es package adds the files:

/usr/share/hunspell/es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es.dic

and creates the symbolic links:

/usr/share/hunspell/es_AR.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_AR.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_BO.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_BO.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_CL.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_CL.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_CO.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_CO.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_CR.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_CR.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_CU.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_CU.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_DO.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_DO.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_EC.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_EC.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_ES.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_ES.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_GT.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_GT.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_HN.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_HN.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_MX.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_MX.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_NI.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_NI.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_PA.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_PA.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_PE.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_PE.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_PR.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_PR.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_PY.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_PY.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_SV.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_SV.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_UY.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_UY.dic -> es.dic
/usr/share/hunspell/es_VE.aff -> es.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_VE.dic -> es.dic

This causes the majority of applications supporting hunspell/myspell to list a Spanish variant for each Spanish-speaking country:

Spanish
Spanish (Argentina)
Spanish (Bolivia)
Spanish (Chile)
Spanish (Colombia)
Spanish (Costa Rica)
Spanish (Cuba)
Spanish (Dominican Republic)
Spanish (Ecuador)
Spanish (El Salvador)
Spanish (Guatemala)
Spanish (Honduras)
Spanish (Mexico)
Spanish (Nicaragua)
Spanish (Panama)
Spanish (Paraguay)
Spanish (Peru)
Spanish (Puerto Rico)
Spanish (Spain)
Spanish (Uruguay)
Spanish (Venezuela)

This is very annoying as I am interested in one Spanish variant only.

Considering that each English-speaking and German-speaking country has a separate myspell package, I propose to create a separate myspell package for each Spanish-speaking country as well:

myspell-es-ar
myspell-es-bo
myspell-es-cl
myspell-es-co
myspell-es-cr
myspell-es-cu
myspell-es-do
myspell-es-ec
myspell-es-es
myspell-es-gt
myspell-es-hn
myspell-es-mx
myspell-es-ni
myspell-es-pa
myspell-es-pe
myspell-es-pr
myspell-es-py
myspell-es-sv
myspell-es-uy
myspell-es-ve
