Hi, Lionel and Mattia

If required I can try to migrate this package to use
ispellaff2myspell, but I see some other problems with it,

* Uses dpatch
* No debian/source/format defined (indeed is old 1.0)
* ispell dictionary hash seems to be in bad format,
  $ ispell -l -d francais /usr/share/doc/ifrench-gut/ALIRE
  Illegal format hash table /usr/lib/ispell/francais.hash - expected
magic2 0x9602, got 0x554f

I also wonder how relevant is myspell-fr-gut compared to
hunspell-fr-classical, hunspell-fr-comprehensive and
hunspell-fr-revised. If it is no longer needed it could be made a
transitional package to hunspell-fr making this particular problem
disappear (although not others).

I have also checked the gutenberg association home page and could not
find references to this dict, and upstream location in watch file
seems to no longer work. I wonder if this dict is it considered
obsolete.

Regards,
