I am adding this break now. I will wait for fixed myspell-el-gr before uploading new dictionaries-common-dev breaking older myspell-el-gr (otherwise all previously installed myspell-el-gr will become incompatible). Please let me know when fixed myspell-el-gr upload happens. If you are busy now I can prepare a NMU on your behalf.
