Oh right.

I think it’s fine this way, I hadn’t realized that the hunspell-dict-*
from aspell.scm were English only.

Now, I just noticed that libreoffice.scm also :-) comes with
huspell-dict-* packages, which are built from yet other sources (primary
sources it seems, rather than LibreOffice).

I’ve applied this patch, but perhaps we should now move those
dictionaries from libreoffice.scm to hunspell.scm?

Thanks!

Ludo’.
