No, not yet. It should be a pretty straightforward set of packages to

How are the dictionaries modified? What are the dictionaries generated
from? Please note (DFSG item 2) that you have to include what they are
generated from (the preferred form for modification) in the source
package and generate the dictionaries during the package build
process. The package you have provided is not doing that right now so
it cannot be uploaded to Debian yet.
I can include the generation script (it's GPLv2 and available from
https://github.com/tkedwards/wiktionarytodict) but I don't think that's
very practical. The script regenerate_all.sh will download a 1.5GB file
from Wiktionary.org and extract it, creating a nearly 4GB file. It then
takes 2 hours on a quad-core desktop machine with all 4 cores at 100%
CPU usage to generate the dictionaries.
The upstream project, http://tkedwards.github.io/wiktionarytodict/
(which is also run by me) produces the dictd format dictionaries as its
output, which I'm then packaging up for Debian with no modifications -
none are needed. Similar to how the tzdata package takes its data from
upstream and just packages it up. I don't understand how this is against
the DFSG.
