Bug#878315: Migrate to hunspell-en-us in libreoffice-dictionaries
Package: src:libreoffice-dictionaries
Hello,
libreoffice-dictionaries upstream ships hunspell-en-us, which is properly maintained and is newer than the one currently in Debian (20070829-7). Please consider migrating to the one in libreoffice-dictionaries. The other English variants (British, Australian and others) are already provided by libreoffice-dictionaries and are more up-to-date than the US variant.
See this Debian bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=874519
Inside the source of libreoffice-dictionaries in Debian, I can find en_US.aff and en_US.dic, but there is not a built package for them.
https://sources.debian.net/src/libreoffice-dictionaries/1:5.2.5-1/dictionaries/en/
See this README from the Libreoffice/dictionaries git,
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/tree/en/README_en_US.txt
It seems that this is now dead,

Thanks
Amr
