Sorry to bother you again, but this change has caused a new problem in
Emacs: Emacsen which do not use debian-ispell.el (e.g. emacs-snapshot,
or locally compiled Emacs binaries) can no longer find dictionaries
which are not in the default ispell-dictionary-base-alist -- a big
problem for me, since I rely on aspell-de's German dictionary.  I have
this tracked it down to (ispell-aspell-find-dictionary "de") returning
nil which is due to the dictionary not living in ispell-aspell-data-dir,
which is now /usr/share/aspell rather than /usr/lib/aspell.

For the version of ispell.el in Debian you could probably change
ispell-aspell-find-dictionary to look in ispell-aspell-dict-dir instead,
but what would be a suitable solution for Emacs upstream?  I hesitate to
report a problem to bug-gnu-emacs which so far does not manifest itself
anywhere but in Debian unstable.

Cheers,
       Sven
