Package: hunspell-sv
Version: 1.51-3
Severity: wishlist

The hunspell-sv package in Debian ships version 1.51 of the Swedish
dictionary, while upstream (SFOL / Den Stora Fria Ordlistan) has been
at version 2.42 for some time.

Additionally, we have significantly expanded the dictionary with words
from two academic sources:

- SALDO (Språkbanken, University of Gothenburg): +17,000 lemmas (CC-BY 3.0)
- Folkets Lexikon (KTH): +900 curated words (CC-BY-SA 2.5)

The new dictionary contains 269,221 base words (up from ~154,000 in 1.51
and ~251,000 in 2.42), making it comparable to commercial spell checkers.

A Gerrit patch for the LibreOffice dictionaries repository (which Debian
uses as upstream) is available:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/dictionaries/+/202383

The updated dictionary is also available on GitHub:
https://github.com/yeager/hunspell-sv

Would it be possible to update the package to the latest upstream?

Thank you,
Daniel Nylander
