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 :)

Title:
  [FFe] Sync (almost) with libreoffice-dictionaries in Debian sid

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in libreoffice-dictionaries package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openoffice.org-hyphenation package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Proposed uploads are available in this PPA:
  https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts4

  This proposal gives us updated dictionaries in xenial, and quite a few
  new ones. libreoffice-dictionaries in Ubuntu was introduced before the
  release of trusty, but hasn't been maintained since. This proposal
  should make it possible to really sync with Debian after the xenial
  release.

  [Original description]
  libreoffice-dictionaries hasnt been synced from Debian for a while and has Ubuntu-local change. Rebase/Reimplement those on Debian and upstream those, if possible.

  (libreoffice-dictionaries was created rather ad-hoc around 4.2 before
  Debian did, replacing the old openoffice-dictionaries, thus the
  missing updates since).
