Just a technical note:
Old Hunspell dictionaries don't provide anything additional. They are 
just dangling without any special integration with the system, please 
take a look: 
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/hunspell-fr/current/SPECS/hunspell-fr.spec?revision=134361&view=markup

$ urpmq --provides hunspell-nl
hunspell-nl[== 2.00-2.mga1]

New Hunspell dictionaries obsolete&provide Myspell packages and come 
into the Myspell place. They also install dictionaries into the same 
place as the predecessor - this is why I put it into the place of the 
old enchant-dictionary=2 place.

Gentoo uses common packages for Myspell and Hunspell dictionaries. So 
this is additional argument to put Hunspell in the place of Myspell.

Fix Mozilla packages (in Mga2) to use new generation dictionaries in 
/usr/share/hunspell

Is there need for anything needed in addition of just higher 
version&release of every new generation hunspell-dictionary in Mga2, 
then the one in Mga1? In Mga2 every hunspell-dictionary will be in the 
new generation version.

And I think we support Mga1->Mga2 full migration, so everything will be 
working.

Am I right?
