Yes, that is the same I guessed above. That also means that autobuilders are
not currently behaving according to current incomplete wording of policy :-)
(dpkg --configure --pending may have been needed before removing). However,
since Ian is right I do not thing this deserves a bug on them for this. I'd
however prefer them to be more robust.

Yes, myspell-en-us is installed, but is not passed to dpkg in the list
of packages to be removed. Seems initially an autobuilders bug, but
may be an apt problem, see below.
Looking better the log (log of control-center_1:2.22.2.1-2+b1/amd64, Sun
Mar 8 12:28:56 2009), there are more funny things (I am not very used
to autobuilder logs, so I may be getting a wrong view), myspell-en-us
seems to not be in the initial list of packages to be installed, that
may be why is not passed for removal,
The following extra packages will be installed:
No myspell-en-us
dictionaries-common is here
Suggested packages:
No myspell-en-us
Recommended packages:
No myspell-en-us
The following NEW packages will be installed:
No myspell-en-us
dictionaries-common is here
And then ....
0 upgraded, 456 newly installed, 0 to remove and 46 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 199kB/153MB of archives.
After this operation, 457MB of additional disk space will be used.
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
dictionaries-common myspell-en-us console-data kbd console-common
...
and myspell-en-us gets installed.
