Bug#827502: hunspell integration Consts obsolete?

Hi Aaron,

I was going to propose the same.  Based upon an email exchange with
Jean-Christophe Helary in February of this year, it sounds like upstream
would prefer that Debian no longer ship such an outdated version.  I
took a look at packaging an updated version, but it will require some
substantial effort that I am not able to provide right not.

I apologize for not following up on this sooner and will file an RM bug
this weekend.

Thank you,
tony
