Why? Maybe I was unclear, and/or this could be a matter of used icon set. Note
that we have *this* icon - shown on the screenshot - to represent exactly this:
"this language *has* a dictionary installed". Why introduce another way of
representing the same data?

See my concern about introducing alternative ways to represent the same data.
Additionally, striking through is a very strong sign with non-obvious message,
and I believe it conveys a message of "something very bad".

No. I suppose the closest thing would be some ~recent change where we
introduced icons showing the selection mode - Heiko, do you remember where it
was? I will search release notes for it, and post the bug/commit if find it.
