Sounds good.

Nothing to correct, sids hunspell also contains
#define LIBDIR \
"/usr/share/hunspell:" \
"/usr/share/myspell:" \
"/usr/share/myspell/dicts"
so hunspell itself is ok. (/usr/share/myspell/dicts is patched in
by me for the current path)

Yes, but of course we need to fix OOo/Ice*

People who had local changes in dictionary.lst loose their config anyway
*unless* OOo3 finds them. But you're right.
the files are called a way to that OOo3 finds them.
For the first, we could wrap the rm.

? In a OOo2 env OOo will also run the script and all dicts do too in lenny.
Resulting in the file properly written.

Yep.

If we go this way, yes - my initial plan was simply not to care about
1:1 working of squeezes packages in lenny, so...

They have a symlink, currently pointing to /usr/share/myspell/dicts. That
symlink needs to be changed.
