Here's what I've done now: I've added enchant-voikko as default for F10 and as
optional for F9 (because I wasn't sure if you can/should add any "default"
stuff after the release). I've also added tmispell-voikko as optional for
F8-F10.
I noticed F8 comps doesn't have openoffice.org-voikko yet, but I wasn't sure
if I can add '<packagereq type="conditional"
requires="openoffice.org-core">openoffice.org-voikko</packagereq>' to a
stable release and if adding it as optional would work at all, as it really
needs openoffice.
About hunspell: The main Voikko maintainer has added some discussion points
about not using hunspell to
<http://voikko.sourceforge.net/architecture.html>. From what I have
understood from mailing list discussions, switching to hunspell would in
practice mean worse spell checking results, losing hyphenation support and
not having the possibility of implementing a grammar checker in the near
future.
