Localizing LibreOffice, one may want to install:
  libreoffice-l10n-{lang or sometimes locale}
  aspell-{mostly lang, sometimes locale}
  hunspell-{...}
  mythes-{...}
  ...
Would you advise everyone in all cases that they incorporate additional checks 
for each possibility? Where's simplicity?

It is against sensible non-purist programming paradigm to not provide a
way to gracefully default.

--------------------

The solution for my use cases above is:

echo "package-x install\package-y purge" | dpkg --set-selections && apt-
get dselect-upgrade

dpkg at least has a (in this case default) way to gracefully continue.
