I believe this is a waste of time.
I didn't touch it for a reason even though the fix was easy.

If people really rely on this oboslete software they should adopt it.
But: I believe myspell should be removed. It actually should have been
*years* ago.

The same tools here are in hunspell-tools.
(except
/usr/bin/i2myspell
/usr/bin/is2my-spell.pl)

But I won't oppose the NMU...
