I have the same problem with the german spell checking in openoffice. myspell-de-de was not installed, but hunspell-de-de and language-support-writing-de was.
installing myspell-de-de removed hunspell-de-de and language-support-writing-de, but the spelling correction didn't work with that either.

Manually installing the german spell checker from http:// extensions. services. openoffice. org/project/ dict-de fixt it for me, but it would be better if it would work out of the box.
