Public bug reported: The ispell function of emacs expects to find a file such as /usr/lib/aspell/deutsch.alias, just as there is a file british.alias in the English aspell version. The file should probably simply contain the lines:
# File added to make emacs ispell work add de_DE.multi Of course, as a simple workaround, you can add this file by hand.
