That=E2=80=99s a very good question.  I=E2=80=99ve noticed before that that
spell-checking in IceCat didn=E2=80=99t work and that=E2=80=99s a serious p=
roblem from a
UX viewpoint.

Looking at Hunspell=E2=80=99s home page, it looks like we should build
dictionary packages from what=E2=80=99s at
<https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/tree/>, no?
