Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 1.5.11
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: era+deb...@iki.fi

Running a diff against ispell.el from emacs23 reveals some upstream
changes which should probably be incorporated into the version in
dictionaries-common.

There are also differences in flyspell.el but they seem by quick glance
to be fixes which should perhaps be merged by upstream instead of the
other way around.

repro$ apt-get install emacs23-el
repro$ zcat /usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/textmodes/flyspell.el.gz |
> diff -u - /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/flyspell.el |
> less
repro$ zcat /usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/textmodes/ispell.el.gz |
> diff -u - /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell.el |
> less

I assume that having these files in dictionaries-common is a conscious
decision, although having the same files as shipped by Emacs etc seems
somewhat confusing and potentially risky.  (Witness also 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dictionaries-common/+bug/619015
 -- a change in emacs23 causes dictionaries-common's flyspell to break. 
Because of that, I hesitantly set the bug severity to Normal rather than
Minor or Wishlist.)

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less.  Well, maybe not.
