Looking at the files on master, I think I know the problem. The quick
fix is to call db_get dict-web1913/reconf in your postinst. Also,
since config might be called at preinst time, it might not be a good
idea to check the filesystem. So I'd put the db_input and db_go lines
into the config, and move the check to the postinst, like this:
if ! grep -q "^include /var/lib/dictd/db.list" /etc/dictd.conf
then
db_get dict-web1913/reconf
fi

/me blames lintian. From a quick look, the control file looks fine to
me.
