Hi,
I would like it if the myspell-nl package was added to the repositories. Packages for many other languages are already available. The lacking of this package might scare away dutch tongued users from using OpenOffice in Linux as an alternative for M$ Office (which has such a spelling checker in the dutch version).
Note that the package in question exists and can be found at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/myspell-nl .
I thought even Warty will still be supported until April 2006... There should be a Warty and Hoary version as well...
Maybe the Ubuntu security team pledged security updates for that long, but I don't have the resources to support that far back... not to mention it's barely possible to do it even if I did support it.
I don't know how apt-get repositories are organised, but isn't it possible to share one package with multiple repositories? If that would be possible, it would be easy ... (unless the packages aren't compatible...).
