Leonardo, The reasoning behind the renaming is twofold:
1) I went by repology.org <http://repology.org/> for the more common package name used by other packaging systems: hunspell-en. Only MacPorts used hunspell-dict-en_*. https://repology.org/metapackage/hunspell-en/versions <https://repology.org/metapackage/hunspell-en/versions> 2) The new package is fundamentally different in terms of its source and build mechanism, given that all hunspell-dict-* packages are currently broken (the list of dictionaries and source code was removed from OpenOffice.org <http://openoffice.org/>).
