X-Build-Depends-future-comment: after dictionaries-common has been uploaded,

we should make this build-depend on it; for now, the rules file tests
13
whether it exists on the building system, and makes only old-style
14

X-Build-Depends-Comment: The Makefile needs yacc, and bison supplies
16
yacc via /etc/alternatives, as do other packages (byacc, others?) --

This ispell package supports either the "new-style"
42
idict-<language> dictionaries or the "old-style"
43
i<language> dictionaries. As of February 2001,
44
only old-style dictionaries are available, because
45
the dictionaries-common standards and package have
46
not been finalized. When dictionaries-common and
47
the idict-<language> dictionaries become available,
48
this version of ispell will be able to use them.
