Bug#783111: hyphen-en-us: Provide hyphen-en-gb, hyphen-en-za

[Marcel Partap <mpartap@gmx.net>]

Package: hyphen-en-us
Version: 2.8.8-2
Severity: important

While there are probably local words which are not provided in the existing
hyph_en_US.dic, "hyphen-en-gb (UNAVAILABLE)" is much more of an issue.
hyphen-de for reference does provide symlinks for local subvariants:
 /usr/share/hyphen/hyph_de_AT.dic -> hyph_de_DE.dic
 /usr/share/hyphen/hyph_de_BE.dic -> hyph_de_DE.dic
 /usr/share/hyphen/hyph_de_CH.dic -> hyph_de_DE.dic
 /usr/share/hyphen/hyph_de_LI.dic -> hyph_de_DE.dic
 /usr/share/hyphen/hyph_de_LU.dic -> hyph_de_DE.dic

The current situation that one either has to set the document language to
"English (US)" - or not get automatic hyphenation at all is a bad joke,
especially if this is so easy to fix. Please act pragmatic and give all
Debian/Ubuntu users bound to the British Empire in some way or another a
helping hand here.
