Download and install GNU's
aspell. You can download one of several free dictionaries located at that site and put them anywhere you want. They use some kind of special format, however, so if you want a list of words, I'm not sure this will work for you.

installdeb-hunspell
INSTALLDEB-HUNSPELL(1) INSTALLDEB-HUNSPELL(1)
NAME
installdeb-hunspell - debhelper-like utility for maintainers of Debian packages
SYNOPSIS
installdeb-hunspell [debhelper options]
DESCRIPTION
installdeb-hunspell is a debhelper like program that is responsible for installing appropriate debhelper snippets in a package, according
to the Debian Spell Dictionaries and Tools Policy.
For more details, see
/usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common-dev/dsdt-policy.txt.gz
The actions executed by installdeb-hunspell are the following:
o Maintainer Scripts
installdeb-hunspell installs the necessary scraps of code in the postinst and postrm scripts.
o Language info file
installdeb-hunspell also checks a file containing
information, called debian/info-hunspell or debian/package.info-hunspell. If this file is successfully parsed, it is installed in the
/var/lib/dictionaries-common/hunspell directory.
o Debconf files
As opposed to installdeb-ispell and installdeb-wordlist, neither installdeb-aspell nor installdeb-hunspell do anything related to
debconf files, since both aspell and hunspell rely on the environment variable "LANG" for default dictionary selection instead of using
symlinks set after a debconf question on dictionary installation. For that reason if you need to add debconf stuff with debhelper to
your aspell or hunspell dictionary package do it in the usual way and call dh_installdebconf(1) as for any other package.
OPTIONS
The usual dephelper(1) options are accepted.
NOTES
This program is not part of debhelper, although it is intended to be used in hunspell dictionary packages using debhelper in its building.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(1)
This program is part of the dictionaries-common-dev package. It is intended to be used by maintainers of hunspell dictionary packages for
Debian. See the documentation under /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common-dev.
