I'm looking at the spell checking programs for a spell I'm creating, and I
have a few questions:

1) aspell and pspell have CONFLICTS with each other, but the long
description
of aspell has this:

Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace ispell. Its
main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up with
possible suggestions than ispell does. It also has support for checking
(La)TeX and HTML files, and run-time support for other non-English
languages. Aspell also is a library; however, the recommended way to use
aspell is through the Pspell library, as the actual interface to the
aspell library is constantly changing.

which suggests that you need both installed in order to use either one. Did
I
misread the description? Have one of the two programs changed and the
description not been updated? Or is there something else I'm missing?

2) Why isn't ispell included in the conflicting of spell checkers?

3) Should there be a PROVIDES for the three spells?
