There's also an unofficial deb at:

 
http://www.luyer.net/EvoBuilds/spell-checking/gnome-spell_0.3-0_i386.deb

(and associated sources at a similar URL)

Haven't touched it for months but it still works fine for me.  However

I'm surprised nobody has officially packaged this yet that I can see :/
It's a little (25kb) package.
