Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
When right-clicking in a text-area and looking under Languages in the
context menu, Firefox lists some of the entries twice. For example:
* English / Australia
* English / Australia
* English / Canada
* English / South Africa
* English / United Kingdom
* English / United Kingdom
* English / United States
* English / United States
And I've got three(!) entries for Russian language - considering that
there are no Russian language variants as there are for English this
seems a bit to much.
This is the listing for my dictionary dir:

It appears to me that duplicates in FF may come from a fact there there
are duplicates here. All those symlinks come from myspell-* packages.
Another interesting listing:

Those symlinks are from myspell-* packages too.
Dates on symlinks suggest that they were updated (or created) when I updated to
Natty, so they are 'fresh'.
So maybe the problem is not with FF but with myspell-* packages which create
too many symlinks? Is there any reason for so many symlinks?
This report might be a duplicated of 576360. I was just hoping to put the
problem into a bit different perspective and provide my observation about
myspell-* packages behavior.
I'd be happy to provide any information required.
Thanks.
