Yes, there are some details in the OO.org package
description aren't there? :) I must have not read it
again since I was trying to quickly re-setup my
computer after my HD died.

That would be better. Currently if no dictionary is
installed, there are no errors, no indication that the
spellchecker is not working. It even goes as far to
say that spellchecking is complete.
Might not help exactly for getting specific language
dictionaries, but at least the spellchecker would be
functional and hopefully people would notice the
dependancy of the recommended dictionary and select
the correct one if needed be (otherwise there would be
lots of wavy red lines in their document :p).
