Fully agreed.
... but how does this "cooperate" with the need pointed out by Russ of
having a /usr/share/dict/words file? Do the dictionaries installed by
tasksel provide such a file (in whatever language)?
If they do, I'd be happy about not having the package priority
Standard, but tasksel installing them. If someone stops the
installation before the tasksel step then it's too bad, we cannot
decide the dictionary for her.
Cheers.
