For aspell that alternative should be to the aspell ispell wrapper
(currently an example under /usr/share/doc/aspell/examples/ispell)
Also we should make sure that old ispell dict names are honoured. aspell has
alias that should already do that for most dicts, but for hunspell we may
need to add symlinks like spanish{.aff,dic} -> es_ES.{aff,dic}
