Yes it does, as well as hunspell and libreoffice-l110-nl and whatever
but no way libreoffice uses such language for spell check.
It is a complete chaos no info, no way to file a bug and this problem is
as long as there was Open Office.

I tried some of that and it installs fine but Libreoffice still don't
use it.

They must be available, if one installs the Dutch Ubuntu the dutch
spellcheck is there, but adding another language is impossible.

Having said that, I just found "myspell" in Synaptic and that works
for the dutch language after Aspell hunspell and even
libreoffice-l110-nl do NOT work!

Am I crazy or are those LibreOffice clowns crazy?
