WTF?

a) This is not Ubuntu
b) That version is not anywhere in Debian:

rene@mini:~$ rmadison myspell-en-za
myspell-en-za |  1:2.4.0-3 |        stable | all
myspell-en-za |  1:3.1.0-1 |       testing | all
myspell-en-za |  1:3.1.0-1 |      unstable | all

please check with 1:3.1.0-1.

No, it's obviously not. If you looked at the "source code"
we just take the en_ZA.aff which is shipped together with en_ZA.dic.
If there is an error, it's in that dictionary in the "code",
not in the packaging.

Aha. And why am I supposed to do that instead of filing that bug upstream
so they fix that for their next release?

Just that this is irrelevant for Debian.

Ah, right. Reporting Ubuntu bugs on Debian on a package which is not
even in Debian. Sure...
