And since neither of your both packages are yet anywhere except on some
unofficial place...
For OOo 3.0 we can get rid of dictionary.lst anyway, so we can get rid
of the dictionaries-common dep. For the OOo dep, we could do a
dependency like the myspell/hunspell packages (though they don't have
libs like libenchant there either, so why should we have python-enchant
there? - and libs like libenchant and python-hyphen should not depend on dicts
anyway) - and maybe rename openoffice.org-hyphenation to something not OOo-centric,
but the only real application in Debian using those dicts so far is OOo (what is
wordaxe btw?)
