There is only a -dev package, which includes header files and static  
libraries (there are no .so files for this package):

$ dpkg -L libhunspell-dev
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libparsers_pic.a
/usr/lib/libhunspell.a
/usr/lib/libhunspell_pic.a
/usr/lib/libparsers.a
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libhunspell-dev/...
/usr/include
/usr/include/hunspell/...
