This package

(Furthermore, AFAIK, there is no dictionary of English words.)

Since various i<language> packages provide this [1], and one spelling
related package also refer to this [2], I think this is an omision in the
virtual-package-names-list.text, rather than an ispell bug. Please consider
reassigning this bug to doc-debian.

There are (built from the same source as ispell I think):
iamerican and ibritish.
[1] According to my available file: ifrench, ispanish, iamerican, idutch,
igerman, iitalian, ibritish and iswedish.
[2] spellprogs
Greetings,
Ray

I would guess that this comes under the clause:
Packages MUST NOT use virtual package names (except privately, amongst
a cooperating group of packages) unless they have been agreed upon and
appear in this list.
I would guess that all of the ispell packages working together would
satisfy this condition.
I recommend closing this policy-change request.
