Ok, so we agree that Debian Policy is more authoritative than lintian.

Debian Policy states § 2.4 says this about section definitions:

The web page https://packages.debian.org/unstable/ says this about 
section "localization":

> Localization support for big software packages.

...and this about section "text":

> Utilities to format and print text documents.


It seems sensible to me that hunspell dictionaries are treated as 
utilites to process text documents rather than localization support.

Localization is specific to mapping internationalization strings into a 
local context - purpos of a dictionary is far more general than that - 
and it seems all other maintainers of hunspell dictionaries besides you 
came to that same conclusion.


Please reconsider your verdict of this bugreport.
