Not sure if this qualifies as a bug exactly, but some of the packages in the 7.0 Current repo are basically duplicates. For instance, each aspell-XX package has a corresponding aspell6-XX package, which is often the same version, and even if not provides the same libraries. I'm assuming this is a mistake? Or is there a good reason to duplicate packages like that?

After a quick glance the only duplicate I could spot was aspell-en, aspell6-en. The others all appear to be unique.
If there are duplicates I would assume that different applications need different versions but I'm just guessing there.
