That file,
/var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-dicts.el, has as
its last line

  (setq debian-hunspell-dictionary (debian-ispell-get-hunspell-default))

but the function "debian-ispell-get-hunspell-default"
is undefined.

Anyway same.

That works! Cool!

A bug where, in Debian's wswedish?
