strange,

$ dpkg-source -x tasksel_2.58.dsc && grep -R ifrench tasksel-2.58/*
dpkg-source: extracting tasksel in tasksel-2.58
dpkg-source: unpacking tasksel_2.58.tar.gz
tasksel-2.58/tasks/french: ifrench-gut

No trace of ifrench there.

Another possibility that can be discarded. 

However, I still cannot reproduce the problem,

I carried out an installation in a 4000M qemu image, from
debian-testing-i386-binary-1.iso RC1 DVD image, single partition + swap,
french locales, even french keyboard, selecting

Environnment graphique ... (Desktop system)
Système standard           (Standard system)

and everything installed as expected with no questions at all from the
dictionaries-common side.

Furthermore, ifrench is not installed, only ifrench-gut, as expected from
the tasksel contents.
