Package: aspell

Many aspell dictionaries depend on the libaspell15 package. with the
next soversion (or the coming C++ ABI change), the package name has to
be changed, as well as other 24 dictionary packages. That's just a
maintainance burden. Package dictionaries may depend on aspell (>=
0.60) instead, but you may argue, that the aspell binary isn't
necessarily needed. Proposing:

- a new libaspell package, which depends on the current libaspell15
  package (a provides is not enough, because dictionaries have to
  depend on an version, and versioned provides don't yet exist)

- alternatively dictionary packages should depend on aspell.

- a short paragraph in README.Debian as a mini policy.
