Subject: abiword-common: Please remove aspell-dictionary relationship

Package: abiword-common
Version: 2.2.3-1
Severity: normal

Please remove the aspell-dictionary dependency. In my opinion no
dependency is required since libaspell15 already Recommends it. I
believe this is a more appropriate relationship since aspell
dictionaries tend to be rather large and it's usually not strictly
necessary to have a dictionary installed (if the user never uses the
spell-check feature).

In addition, I'm renaming aspell-dictionary to aspell6-dictionary as
part of the transition to Aspell 0.60. So, at the very least, you
should change the dependency to aspell6-dictionary when I upload Aspell
0.60.

Thanks,
Brian
