In squeeze, installing postgresql-common, then myspell-nl will reproduce this. According to [1] above call of the p-common postinst looks correct, "/usr/share/myspell/dicts" is a valid trigger name that p-common subscribes to. It looks like debconf or dpkg itself tries to interpret $2 as a version number even if $1 = "triggered"; with any other valid $1, $2 is indeed a version number, so it seems this particular case isn't handled here? This might also be a bug in debconf, but since the error message says "dpkg" I reassign this to dpkg.
