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:
