Package: hunspell-fr Version: 1:2.4.0-2 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable for some users
Hello, The hunspell-fr package as it is only works for the fr_FR locale. This means that French speakers in other locales (fr_BE, fr_CA, fr_CH and fr_LU) cannot use the spellchecker at all in applications like OpenOffice.org, Pidgin or Tomboy. (All words are underlined in red.) I have attached a trivial patch which solves all of these issues and I would like to request a freeze exception with the release team once this fix has made it to unstable. If I can be of any assistance (for example if you prefer that I do an NMU), please let me know. Thanks! Francois P.S.
