Meanwhile... we've discussed on the Voikko mailing list (http://hunspell-fi.org/mailman/listinfo/devel_hunspell-fi.org) about the other language-support-fi dependencies as well.

wfinnish, aspell-fi and myspell-fi should be removed from the dependencies.

tmispell-voikko replaces wfinnish completely. aspell-fi has no direct replacement, though some programs are starting to support and prefer libenchant and its Voikko plugin (like Abiword) instead. aspell-fi is however currently responsible of underlining every other word in Gaim, because of the poor quality of spell-checking. myspell-fi interferes with openoffice.org-voikko, requiring often manual settings in OOo to use the better quality spell-checking. Then again it removes spell-checking from Thunderbird, but again the quality of myspell-fi spellchecking is so low that people should probably seek to install it themselves if they really know that they want it. Otherwise it is probably more of a disturbance.
