Makes sense.  Here's a rough patch; what do you think?

Subject: debian/git-gui: document aspell support in debian/control

Since v1.5.5-rc0~3^2~32 (git-gui: Automatically spell check commit
messages as the user types, 2008-02-07), git-gui has been able to to
use aspell (but not ispell or hunspell yet) for spell checking on the
fly.  Document this so the sysadmin can know which package to install
to help developers catch spelling errors early.
