[Bug 157921] Re: language-support-en pollutes Firefox's spell-check languages list

[Hewus]

The issue is caused by myspell-en-au, myspell-en-gb and myspell-en-us,
which create both the en_*.dic/aff files, and the en-* links (Note the
difference between _ and -). I'm not a programmer and don't know how
firefox works, but I suspect it's just scanning all files in the
/usr/share/myspell/dicts directory which is why it ends up with two
copies. The '-' version is the one firefox likes as it gives the proper
name to it. Can the '_' version simply be renamed, or do applications
use this version?

dictionary.lst appears to be an OpenOffice.org thing (installed by
openoffice.org-common). I'm by no definition an expert in this area, but
it seems like there needs to be an improvement of standards in the
dictionary/languages area.
