Comment 13 for bug 278943

Here is a debdiff between the current package in intrepid and the one in my PPA. The only change is to add a few symlinks from non-France French locales back to the fr_FR dictionary.

I don't believe that there is much potential to break any other dictionaries (or even the fr_FR one).

However, this fix is quite important because without it French speakers outside of France will not be able to use the spellchecker in programs like pidgin and tomboy.

I know that it is very late in the release schedule, but please consider giving this package a Freeze exception. Otherwise, it should be considered for the first Stable Release Update.
