== Description

When installing several (at least 6) dictionaries at once,
installation fails while executing post installation scripts:

    [...]

The same rate limit is hit when removing or purging packages.

I believe that this can be fixed by using `invoke-rc.d reload` instead
of `restart` (or instead of `start` followed by `stop` in some cases),
because systemd doesn't limit the number of reloads.

== Meta

- I'm including `dictd` because it provides the service in question,
  but I don't believe that that's a good place to fix it.
- For `dict-vera`, `dict-wn`, and `dictd` this is a duplicate of #1066189,
  but I don't want to expand the scope of somebody else's bug report.
- I've included only one dictionary package per source package, but,
  for example, all freedict dictionaries are affected equally.
- The `mueller7-dict` package is notable for using `force-reload`, so
  it's not affected.
