Thanks for the reminder,
The planned way is to preserve the possibility of backwards compatibility
until squeeze is released, but as soon as all apps use the new location,
make "new-locations only" the default behavior (current behavior is keep
backward compatibility symlinks).
Note that dictionaries are already installed in the new location, so Mozilla
transition can proceed. Current /usr/share/myspell/dicts/ contents are only
backwards compatibility symlinks to the new /usr/share/{hunspell,...}
locations. If some dictionary is still installed only in the old location,
is a bug in the dictionary.

No need to remove the backwards possibility at this stage, just to make it
non-default. The planned change for that is really simple,

and will be applied once the transition is finished (along with the needed

hurt, just is deprecated and once the above is applied will not be done

For backwards compatibility once the change is done (current default, soon
to change).
If you are looking at a dictionary using the new location, may happen
that there is only the mozilla symlink in the old location, because
openoffice2 will use dictionaries.lst, and the hyphen variant may be
used there (no problem with hunspell, since lenny hunspell already
looks in /usr/share/hunspell along with /usr/share/myspell/dicts).
You can have e.g.,
/usr/share/hunspell:
fo.{aff,dic}
fo_FO.{aff,dic} -> fo.{aff,dic}
/usr/share/myspell/dicts:
fo.{aff,dic} -> ../../hunspell/fo.{aff,dic}
where dictionaries.lst (only present for ooo2) contains a line with
DICT fo FO fo
That is backwards compatible and will work in both lenny and current sid.
Please ping this bug report once new Mozilla hits testing, so the default
is changed.
Cheers,
