Right, one spell-checker (which can do different things
depending on word, region, whole buffer etc) should be enough
IMO...

$ aptitude why aspell
i   zenity               Depends  libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (>= 2.15.1)

$ aptitude why ispell
i   iswedish Depends ispell (>= 3.3.02)

Hm, what does that mean? I installed zenity so got aspell?
What is zenity? "Zenity allows you to display GTK+ dialogs
from shell scripts" - why did I even install that?
