Thanks for your comments, Mattia.

I have considered it further, and created a new PPA, this time with lo-dicts 1:5.1.0-1:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts4

This time I made use of the nifty debian/helper.py, and to start with I made the version change which you already made in git.

As you suggested I created a bunch of transitional packages. That required that the Conficts fields in the corresponding hunspell-* packages and the hyphen-no package were replaced with Breaks/Replaces. I agree it's not necessary to make those changes in Debian, since they can be dropped after xenial.

Please note that I made a transitional myspell-es package. The current myspell-es includes a Conflict field to hunspell-es, so the packages do conflict, even if there are no file conflicts.

I blacklisted hyphen-et for consistency reasons - hunspell-et is blacklisted - and deleted debian/hyphen-et.install. You may want to consider these changes for Debian. Otherwise, if someone installs hyphen-et, myspell-et gets deleted, and they have no access to a spellchecker.

As regards openoffice.org-hyphenation, I think you are right: The Conflicts/Replaces fields I first suggested would be unnecessary.
