The information you are looking for is in
/var/cache/dictionaries-common/ispell.db. This file contains Perl code and
the hash name can be easily extract like this (try the following in bash):
perl -e '$name = "francais Hydro-Quebec (French Hydro-Quebec)"; \
do "/var/cache/dictionaries-common/ispell.db"; \
print ($dictionaries{$name}->{"hash-name"}, "\n")'
At any rate, this is not a bug of the dictionaries-common package and I
would recommend to close this bug report.
