Regarding dictionaries settings (ispell dicts and wordlists), there is also code in dictionaries-common to handle that, unless the relevant debconf value is already set. Current status was that localization-config sets ispell dictionary-default after initial country/lang settings, so dictionaries-common skip this, but does the job for wordlists, where localization-config does nothing. I do not know if this has changed recently. In a bug report [#277410 localization-config: Provide wordlist preseeding also for dictionaries-common] I explained how the dictionaries-common system works for default selection and why I think there is no need to add anything for wordlists, because current code already handles that. I also suggested that might be better to disable default ispell dict selection from localization-config, and test better the dictionaries-common way, because it relies on really to be installed dicts, tries to set reasonable fallbacks if there is no good (country,lang)->dict match, and seems easier to maintain to me ;-). Since I received no reply to my last mail about that I considered that thread as frozen, but after your mail I think is time to think again where we should do the job.
