Thanks for pointing out this,
Seems I did not check the use of jessie dicts in wheezy.

I mailed the info about this change to the dict-common.dev mailing list
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/dict-common-dev/2014-June/thread.html
but did not make clear that dictionaries relying on symlink creation by
installdeb- scripts must bump its dependency on dictionaries-common. That
symlinks are now created by the autobuildhash script.
Just sent a clarification to the list, bcc'ed to the packages address for
those ispell or aspell dictionaries not having a bumped dependency. Sorry,
Robert, for being late.
I have also modified the installdeb-{a,i}spell man pages to add info about
the substvars and to fix info about this no longer available feature (it
was still marked as available). Opened #770484 to track this. Since it is
only a dodumentation fix, I hope to get a freeze exception from the release
team.

I went through the list of sid ispell or aspell dictionaries and
fortunately, they are in one of these cases: were built some time ago, when
that feature was available, have updated dependency, set symlinks explicitly
during build process or are binary:arch packages where no symlinks are
needed. Hope not to have missed anyone.
Thank you very much for the info,
