Well, "should" is the wrong expectation for a feature that depends on
additional data files, especially since modern Posix installations
decided to remove that file (it used to be available on all the
systems when ispell.el was written).  The fact that this feature
depends on additional file is now mentioned in the doc string.

So I think we have done everything we can about this issue, and I'm
therefore closing this bug.
