| Oh, well, I am not the author and the script was written specifically

If you consider the script only relevant for ispell-fr and ispell-fr-gut
then tell the package maintainer of those packages to include the script
~ directly within their own packages (and, if you want to play nice with
the past then make your package conflict with ispell-{fr,fr-gut} earlier
than and equal to the current version).
If you want to provide the script as an example file that is also
permitted for packages to rely on, then place it below /usr/lib/myspell
/usr/share/myspell and symlink it to
/usr/share/doc/libmyspell-dev/examples, as I believe is described in
Policy somewhere.
