This is true also in the case where I deleted ALL languages. It STILL listed Suomi (Voikko) (in parallel to Suomi (Soikko)) as the one and only Voikko language, even thoug there should be no such language to my knowledge.

Answering myself: yes.

I had to delete the VoikkoSpellService to stop Voikko from appearing in the system.

After some more testing it seems that the only valid dictionary location for VoikkoSpellService is /usr/local/lib/voikko/. But adding hfst-based speller dicts there (with files that works with voikkospeller) did not make them available in the speller service. So something is still not working as it should for hfst-based spellers in the speller service plugin.

Definitely time to look into this:)
