I doubt every dictionary already got updated to use hunspells new
features. Do you have a proof every dict did? Why wasn't there then a
new version of the software the myspell/hunspell dictionaries are built
from?

Please change the packages from which those packages are built, not
openoffice.org-dictionaries itself. For example, hunspell-de-* comes
directly out of the source code of it (igerman98)
