I have looking at this and seems that even myspell-sv www site
(http://sv.speling.org/myspell.html) now points to
http://www.dsso.se/, so auto-upgrade seems the way to go.
I would do it in a way similar to a package renaming,
http://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package
with hunspell-sv-se providing the new myspell-sv-se empty dependency package.
This way users will upgrade to new empty myspell-sv-se which depends on
hunspell-sv-se, thus resulting in actual smooth upgrade. Once new package
reaches testing, we can ask for removal of old package.
I am attaching a patch with proposed changes. Edit debian/README.myspell-sv-se
and debian/changelog to have your name there as maintainer.
More interesting info for that debian/README.myspell-sv-se may be available at
http://www.dsso.se/download.html, but since it seems to be Swedish-only I
cannot know.
Just send me hunspell-sv_1.46-3.debian.tar.gz and hunspell-sv_1.46-3.dsc
once they are ready to prepare a new upload.
I am also cc'ing myspell-sv orphaning bug report, so anyone thinking about
adopting myspell-sv knows about this.
Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] Provide myspell-sv-se dependency package for auto-upgrade to
hunspell-sv-se.
myspell-sv is now obsolete and even its www site
(http://sv.speling.org/myspell.html) now points to
http://www.dsso.se/ where hunspell-sv-se is maintained.
This commit tries to provide a smooth upgrade path from myspell-sv-se
to hunspell-sv-se in a way similar to a package renaming.
