That is correct:  mozvoikko only supports Mozilla products.

voikko-fi is not a spell checker. It's only a morphologic description of
Finnish. What you need to include are front-ends that interfacw with it,
such as:

libenchant-voikko - Voikko spell-checker libenchant plugin
mozvoikko - Finnish spell-checker extension for Firefox
openoffice.org-voikko - Finnish language tools for OpenOffice.org
tmispell-voikko - Ispell wrapper which uses Voikko for spell-checking

IMHO, mozvoikko and openoffice.org-voikko should both go to Recommends,
because they both Depends upon fairly sizable packages (Firefox and OOo,
respectively), for which alternatives exist that would instead use e.g.
libenchant-voikko to interface to Voikko. tmispell-voikko is somewhat
deprecated, but could go to Recommends as well.

The only goal of this request to downgrade mozvoikko is to avoid pulling
Firefox as an indirect dependency. However, since Firefox is the default
browser on Ubuntu, it makes sense to at least keep mozvoikko as
Recommends.

PS: I'm often on Freenode as Q-FUNK if you need to discuss this in more
details.
