Public bug reported:

On upgrade to the latest precise daily, update-default-ispell gave me a
wholly unnecessary pair of debconf prompts.  The first seems to be
because it thought my existing debconf setting was invalid; the second
to ask me which ispell dictionary I wanted as the default even though I
have only one installed.

Before the debconf prompt, the following console output was displayed:

 [ispell,dc_debconf_select] error: [undefined] does not correspond to
any package

The changelog of today's dictionaries-common upload includes this
comment:

  * Drop the debconf priority change in dc-debconf-select.pl. According to
    Agustin this is only shown in error cases now, which we actually do want.

seems this isn't terribly accurate.
