Hi, Frans and debian-installer team.

I am about to ask dictionaries-common priority be changed to optional in the
override file. Also, ispell maintainer has also uploaded ispell, iamerican
and ibritish with optional priority (not yet changed in the override file).

Are those changes OK in the override file at this time from the
debian-installer point of view?
