I would guess that this comes under the clause:

  Packages MUST NOT use virtual package names (except privately, amongst
  a cooperating group of packages) unless they have been agreed upon and
  appear in this list.

I would guess that all of the ispell packages working together would
satisfy this condition.

I recommend closing this policy-change request.
