Yes. In some circumstances it just crashes without it.

No. See above. Maybe it would even make more sense to just put the
en-US localizations into -common, but...

No. This is no bug. This is completely intentional. OOo1 and OOo2
thesauri are incompatile. OOo1 ones won't work in OOo2 and vice versa.
Since both use /etc/openoffice/dictionary.lst for looking which thesauri
are there and each thesaurus registers there both cannot be parallel
installed.
