Firefox should install correct hunspell locale

Hello, since Firefox 61 there is a spellcheck active in all HTML input fields and textareas. But Firefox installs hunspell-en_US, so for non-english people (like me), **everything** in the HTML input fields and textareas is red underlined since then. Why does Firefox not install correct localized version of hunspell (hunspell-cs in my case)? Could anybody fix this issue?

Update: I installed hunspell-cs and it works correctly, but I don't like I have to preserve hunspell-en_US too as it is a dependency of Firefox now. Maybe the hunspell-* should be a dependency of those firefox-i18n-* packages?

Re: Firefox should install correct hunspell locale

Reporting_bug_guidelines removing hunspell-en_US leaving no dictionary installed does not prevent firefox from starting and only spell checking is unavailable as would be expected.
