virtual package 'ispell-dictionary'
I don't know how important this is, but there's a de-facto
virtual package, ispell-dictionary, in use for quite some
time by the ispell and i* dictionary packages, but not
listed in
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/virtual-package-names-list.text
I'd suggest we add (under Miscellaneous):
ispell-dictionary Anything that provides an ispell-compatible dictionary
It's conceivable that other packages, like aspell, might also
make use of this.
Here's a summary of the packages that currently use it:
