Which in turn implies that what needs to be forward-ported is probably
that python-dictdlib, whatever and wherever that is (it doesn't seem to
be in current Debian testing, which would be expected if it is indeed
Python-2-only, and I haven't taken the trouble to dig it up from the
snapshots archive as of yet), as well as any dependencies that may have.

I think it likely that with that done, dict-moby-thesaurus could be
built from its existing source package with no issues.q
