Dear Maintainer,

currently icedove-l10n-de recommends
 myspell-de-de | myspell-de-at | myspell-de-ch | hunspell-de-de |
 hunspell-de-at | hunspell-de-ch
in the above order.

The myspell and hunspell dictionaries are build from the same source,
with some functional extensions of the huspell dictionaries, so the
hunspell dictionaries should always be preferred over the myspell ones
(if the calling program supports hunspell).

So I'd suggest to recommend on
 hunspell-de-de | hunspell-de-at | hunspell-de-ch
and strip off the myspell dictionaries here.

I (as the maintainer of all these myspell-de-* and hunspell-de-*
dictionaries) think about completely remove the myspell-de-*
dictionaries, since currently all programs in the meantime should
support the hunspell variants, which gives the user a better
experience.

A little patch for debian/control is attached.

Tschoeeee
