Proper spell-checking support enabled by default

Hi,

I am a Kubuntu user and ran into a annoying problem.
After a fresh installation of Kubuntu 13.04 I ran into the problem, that the 
necessary spell-check packages for my native language were missing.

To enable proper spell-checking I manually had to install the following 
packages:

language-pack-kde-$lang
aspell-$lang (required for KDE apps)
hunspell-$lang (required for LibreOffice)

where $lang represents my language shortcut.

Is it possible to add these three packages as dependency to the kde-l10-$lang, 
with the result that the packages above are installed when this package is 
installed ?

Another solution would be a Ubuntu-like language installer which is run a first 
startup.

Especially for the beginner it's hard to determine which packages are required 
to get proper spell-checking.  There is also a launchpad bug-report [1], maybe 
it's to hidden to get fixed.

If you need help with this, please contact me, it would be cool if this can be 
fixed, to make Kubuntu more awesome.

Regards,
Mathias
