umh, actually I was talking about the migrating away from the myspell-*
packages built by lo-dicts, I didn't check the list of those produced by
ubuntu, but now I see there is a missing transitional package for
myspell-en-us. I recall now that I wanted to move that to
src:hunspell-en-us, but totally forgot to do.
If we do that we would take over several binaries from other sources,
that means that some of those sources may become pointless and just be
removed from the archive (in ubuntu). That needs to be backed by
somebody else, I can't really help here (it was a way longer term plan
for me), and not sure we would do that in during FF.
It would indeed be nice to kick all those other packages, though.

yeah, nice catch, incorporated :)
