Apparently, by default the script looks for an installed version of hunspell instead of using the version that’s included in the distribution and, for some reason, it wasn’t able to find my installed version of hunspell. But configuring with the above flag did the trick. My document is now nicely littered with wavy red underlines (as desired!). :-)

Hm, I don’t have libhunspell-dev installed but I definitely have spellchecking support and Hunspell now shows up as the spellchecker in Preferences.
