Bug#918315: hyphen should import upstream changes that are lingering in git

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>]

Package: src:hyphen
Version: 2.8.8-5
Severity: wishlist

the hyphen package hasn't had a release in several years.

however, there are several useful-looking changes (including cleanup in
the build scripts) in git (upstream uses
https://github.com/hunspell/hyphen for hosting, afaict).

It might be good to import some of those changes.  at the least, it
would remove some autoconf warnings that we see otherwise.
