I disagree. Country or region specific dictionaries should only exist if they actually contain distinct country or region specific information. So, for example, if upstream shipped a nl_BE.dic that was different than the main nl.dic, then that file should be shipped in Debian. In this case, the upstream project does not produce any country or region specific dictionaries, but rather only one language dictionary, which they name nl.dic. Creating country-specific symlinks causes the LibreOffice GUI to list each country as if it had a separate, customized dictionary for that country, which in the case of this package is incorrect. In other words, I consider this a bug in LibreOffice, which I have opened here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1109355 However, given the short amount of time before the trixie release, I consider the best place to work around this bug to be to temporarily rename the dictionary to include the primary country code so that LibreOffice can find it. For forky, once the bug is fixed in LibreOffice, this package should resume shipping the original upstream file name of nl.dic. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
