OK, I'll do that for the known dependencies, but I don't know how many
programs out there aren't packaged and depend on libhyphen, so we'll
have to find a solution for that. But first things first, I'll talk to
the libhyphen developers and maintainers.

Great. I've packaged the libhyphenate (without any compatibility
interface), lintian-checked it and uploaded to:
http://swolter.sdf1.org/libhyphenate-debian.tar.gz

I'm no maintainer, however, but if I got the Manual right, the
package needs a sponsor now to be uploaded. I'll put the project
on http://sponsors.debian.net soon, if that's the right way.

Regards and thanks for the help, Steve
