Privacy Browser PC uses them.

I would like to package up an alpha release of Privacy Browser PC. One of the things I am waiting on is getting spell checking working correctly. Part of this is the Privacy Browser needs to be able to enumerate the installed dictionaries so that users can select between them. How it does this depends on where the dictionaries are placed and requires that the Qt packages have the correct symlinks. So, I considered having these dictionaries packaged and in Debian was an important first step.
Originally I planned to have Privacy Browser packaged by the end of the year, but at the current pace it looks like it is going to take longer than I expected to get all the prerequisites in place (this being one of them) so I am now looking for an early 2023 release (hopefully before the freeze).

The documentation for any packager of future Hunspell languages so that they know that they need to include compiled .bdic files, where they should be placed, and how to do it.
