Bug#832631: Please ship spell files

Package: neovim
Version: 0.1.4-1
Severity: normal

vim-runtime ships spelling files for English.  Neovim strips those out, and
only offers a mechanism to download the spell files at runtime.  Please
consider packaging current versions of the spell files for various languages in
Debian, so people can obtain those files through the package manager, rather
than assuming connectivity at the time they first try to enable the 'spell'
option.

Ideally, vim could use one of the many other sources of spelling information
available in Debian, rather than its own.  Vim's help files suggest that it can
use Hunspell files.
