Yes medium american. Sorry that I did not make the clear.

It might as the format of the compiled, device dependent, dictionary
might change between version. I would give aspell-dicts a version
number of 1 and then increment it whenever the format of the aspell
dictionary changes. Be careful though as your packaging version number
will not nessary match the version of aspell-dicts. I could for example
change the format of the compiled dictionary but not update aspell-dicts
as the package will still work once you recompile the dicts.
If I lost you please let me know.
Also please inform me when you update your debian package as I have a
link to it from my home page.
