Has this dictionary been submitted to aspell upstream?  I am guessing
the patch tracker at [1] might be a good place to try.

I'm not a DD so I can't upload your package, but here are a few
nitpicks.

. It seems this uses aspell 0.60 format.  Shouldn't the package use
  Provides: aspell6-dictionary, then?

. debian/rules could be made much simpler by using dh.  Not a problem
  but it would make me happier to have less to read. :)
  (In that format, it becomes obvious what specific customizations a
  package has made to the usual sequence.)

. Similarly, I wonder if debian/postinst and debian/postrm are needed.
  Won't debhelper set those up automatically?

Cc-ing Mahyuddin Susanto, who is packaging[2] an Indonesian aspell
dictionary.  Maybe you would have some advice for each other about
aspell packaging policy (about which I know nothing).

Thanks for your work and hope that helps.

Regards,
Jonathan
