Bug#318025: dict-freedict-sco-deu: "Scottish"?

[Justin B Rye <jbr@edlug.org.uk>]

Package: dict-freedict-sco-deu
Severity: normal

This is a dict package for translating between German and the
variety of Gaelic spoken in Scotland, right?  Well, the word
"Scottish" is rarely used to refer to a language, but when it is, it
isn't that one. 

* Gaelic (or Scots Gaelic, or Gaidhlig) is a Celtic language related
	to Irish (aka Irish Gaelic, or Gaeilge), with only fifty or
	sixty thousand speakers in total.
* Scottish, or more usually Scots, is an entirely separate language
	(or, depending on your point of view, dialect of English)
	with something like one and a half million speakers.  Just
	to confuse things, some of the speakers live in Ireland.

Most of the freedict packages have been named in line with the
standard ISO 639-2 Alpha-3 codes, but "sco" is Just Plain Wrong:

	+-------+-------+-------------------------+         
	| 639-2 | 639-2 | Name                    |         
	+-------+-------+-------------------------|         
	| gal   | gd    | Scottish Gaelic; Gaelic |
	| sco   |       | Scots                   |
        +-------+-------+-------------------------+

Renaming the package to dict-freedict-gal-deu may be more work than
it deserves, given its QA-Group status and popcon figures, but
please at least amend the Description to give a warning of this 
gross misnomer.
