So I've look at it quickly. It seems our enchant is built only with aspell, 
whereas debian is built with hunspell. In fact, our hunspell is able to detect 
the misspellings, and does not flag numbers nor doesn't. Maybe you could use 
hunspell directly as your enchant? Not sure if that works, I'm not an emacs 
user.

I've tried building enchant with hunspell, but although it worked, it still 
doesn't use the hunspell dictionnary. Looking at strace, it ignores $DICPATH 
which hunspell uses, and looks in various other directories. Sxmlinking one of 
them to $DICPATH didn't work either. Enchant was able to find hunspell's 
en_US.dic file, but then fails when looking for en_US.aff in the same 
directory. What is this aff file?
