We could do that, but then:
 1. the package name would kinda lie, since it's -en-*us*
 2. we would need to Conflicts against mythes-en-au (maybe Provides that
    as well, in this case, though)

I wonder: why is -au outdated?  If the upstream of mytes-en-au is gone,
maybe LO itself could pick it up?
It feels kind of weird to link -au to -us, as afaik there are effective
differences between the two.
