(and the same for other languages, where > relevant) AFAIK, the only reason tasksel has aspell and ispell dictionaries at all is to make a localized version easily available. This has the weird consequence of ispell and aspell not being included in the base system, or American English installs, but being included in British English and other localized installs. In the past (1999-2002), dictionaries-common and wenglish were priority standard, so it made sense to install localized wordlists too. Now, it seems, it does not. I'm leaning toward dropping them from all the localized tasks. -- see shy jo
