It seems arse about face. English (the language spoken/written in
England) should be the default, name wise. If you want to use American
English then it should be obvious that it is a dialect¹. :)

Anyway, does this help?

root@tal:~# apt-cache search ispell | grep british
ibritish - British English dictionary for ispell (standard version)
ibritish-huge - British English dictionary for ispell (huge)
ibritish-insane - British English dictionary for ispell (insane version)
ibritish-large - British English dictionary for ispell (large)
ibritish-small - British English dictionary for ispell (small)
root@tal:~# apt-cache search aspell | grep british
root@tal:~#
root@tal:~# apt-cache search ispell | grep american
iamerican - American English dictionary for ispell (standard version)
iamerican-huge - American English dictionary for ispell (huge)
iamerican-insane - American English dictionary for ispell (insane
version)
iamerican-large - American English dictionary for ispell (large)
iamerican-small - American English dictionary for ispell (small)
root@tal:~# apt-cache search aspell | grep american
root@tal:~#

This is on a Debian Jessie install.
