Hi Russ,
I filed a wishlist bug #593487 against dictionaries-common, which aspell-
autobuildhash(8) suggests that approach, in order to have that tracked and
sorted out. I'm not quite satisfied with such a suggestion as given in the man-
page without it being clearly justified by very strong reasoning, and as it
turned out, it might be completely unneeded.
