Note that the Debian backport has been tested succesfully by myself and another LP user on gutsy.

It would fix LP#139570.

Register French dictionary for fr_CH and fr_LU, as it does already for fr_BE and fr_CA

>A rationale for the exception, explaining the benefit of the change

This is not a new feature, but a fix to the Swiss French and and Luxembourg French language support. Without this fix, Ubuntu users from Switzerland and Luxembourg don't have out of the box spell checking in openoffice.org altough the French dictionary is installed. They are forced to set up openoffice.org to use the French (France) dictionary by default and documents made using Microsoft Word in these countries are opened without spell checking.

>Any additional information which would be helpful in considering the decision

This is a low-risk change.

Thank you for considering this feature freeze exception. This bug affects both gutsy and hardy.
