I don't know of one.

$ apt-cache search aspell english 
aspell - A more intelligent replacement for the ispell spell checker
aspell-en - English dictionary for aspell


$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/aspell/english 
libaspell4: /usr/lib/aspell/english


Interesting.  I don't have aspell-en installed, but the libaspell4
