hunspell is the preferred spellchecker for many European languages,
because it handles accents and umlauts better than myspell. The
task-german-desktop recommends the dictionaries hunspell-de-de,
hunspell-de-at and hunspell-de-ch.
hunspell is also used by LibreOffice, and the package firefox-esr
notably depends on libhunspell-1.3-0.
But whenever I install the German localization firefox-esr-l10n-de, it
wants to remove all hunspell dictionaries and install the corresponding
myspell dictionaries instead. This would actually be a regression.
In aptitude, I always have to cancel the removal and leave the
dependencies of the package firefox-esr-l10n-de "unresolved". Of cause,
the dictionaries are only recommended; but aptitude and apt-file are
usually set to install all recommendations.
So it would be a much better choice, if the package firefox-esr-l10n-de
would recommend the hunspell dictionaries hunspell-de-de,
hunspell-de-at, and hunspell-de-ch instead, just like task-german-desktop.
