Yes, but what are "the right languages"? Does the spec file know in (or
about) which languages I intend to write my texts?

Not for Linux? An advantage over installation on installation is that you
can always add thesauri later, as you need them.

I even think we could extend this to other external resources (such as
spelling dictionaries or even layouts and modules). This would make a nice
GSOC project. (Although there are of course all sorts of security issues we
would need to deal with, i.e. add a way to "sign" packages).
