After having read #1109253 I'm sure that it is a bad idea to
completely remove the de_LU, de_BE, and de_LI symlinks from Debian.

On the other hand I don't think that having an additional package for
every of these symlinks (hunspell-de-lu, hunspell-de-be,
hunspell-de-li) also doesn't make much sense.

Another option would be to generate the symlinks based on a debconf
choice, but isn't this also too much overhead for two lines of
languages shown in the list of languages in Thunderbird and
LibreOffice, that don't hurt (me)?

So for now, I downgraded the severity of this bug and tagged it
"wontfix", but I'd prefer to close it...

Greetings
Roland
