The contents of these packages are different, and some packages *are* using
the old tools.
# grep-dctrl -FBuild-Depends myspell-tools -sPackage
# /var/lib/apt/lists/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_source_Sources
Package: ifrench-gut
Package: ispell-czech
Package: norwegian
Package: rus-ispell
And ttbomk some of them use the myspell-tools only tools. See below.
I hoped by completely not caring about this package people will be
forced to swich, but apparently not true, got NMUs instead.

At least the first two are missing. One can probably keep them there and
depend on hunspell-tools for the rest but that needs to be tested to not
cause unwanted side-effects...

Which is dictionaries and not dictionary building/conversion tools.
