Status update: after discussion on IRC, I was able to convince heftig
that this is indeed unnecessary (to try to reorganize the final
installation locations of these dictionaries).

I've gotten several positive responses and no negative ones so far.
Although it's been noted that it might be nice to have a more
lightweight convert tool packaged, I think for now we can stick with the
one in qt5-webengine.

Anyone else have any last-minute objections? Should I create a TODO list
for all our dictionary packages?
