No, what you mention is the old behavior. If you install the ispell
stuff at unstable with apt you should be prompted by debconf only once
for all the ispell dicts and only once for all the wordlists you
install. You will be prompted *before* the dictionaries are unpacked as
debconf usually does, but for all dictionaries you decided to install.
If you reinstall an already installed dictionary for which you have
already been debconf prompted no aditional prompt will be done. Have you
been prompted by debconf?
The new system still is not ready to pass to testing as a whole due to
some problems in the mips/mipsel arches. Since this system is not
compatible with the old one we really do not want to have them mixed.
If you are not having such behavior and you are using the stuff at
unstable please file a bug against dictionaries-common package with as
much the information you can provide, e.g., ispell version, installed
dicts and versions and so on.
Cheers,
