Thanks for the info, I did not find the relevant part in helper.py.
There is one package (hunspell-sv) where that is desirable, since it will
only contain transitional packages hunspell-sv-se and myspell-sv-se, so
I think it is better if hunspell-sv-se transitional package is created
from lo-dicts itself.
Regarding myspell-sv-se transitional package, it was created back in 2011,
so I think is safe not to worry anymore about it.
I will ask for old hunspell-sv removal afterwards,

Apart from the above, I think nothing else is needed.
Thanks for everything,
