Hi! When I read both your mail, I have the feeling that aspell should be split in 2 packages: aspell (which provides the spell-checking functionality, and depends on any dictionary) and aspell-dev (which provides the word-list generation functionality).
And if you can't split both functionality, you may still have everything in aspell-dev and aspell depends on aspell-dev. Hence, packages would depend on aspell-dev instead of aspell, and no dictionary will be required. And users will still use aspell, which depends on a dictionnary, which seems more policy-compiant since most users consider aspell as a spell-checker... What about this suggestion?
