This bug is *not* new to the version of dictionaries-common in sid; I was
wrong about that. I can dpkg-reconfigure the version in sarge and see the
same behavior.
Oddly, select-default-ispell *does* work, and I *do* have at least one
ispell dictionary installed. Running select-default-ispell, though, does
NOT fix the problem with the debconf question. Please see the following
transcript.
