That's the sole reason, yes.  From aspell-autobuildhash(8):

| Dictionaries-common scripts will call internally this script and 
| create a single hash file at /var/lib/ispell/$lang.rws, or hash files 
| at /var/lib/ispell/$subdict.rws. You must set a symlink to that files 
| from /usr/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or /usr/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws as 
| appropriate.  You are also suggested to create empty files at 
| /var/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or for all of the 
| /var/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws in the install target of your package 
| build process. This empty file will be overwritten when the real hash 
| is created, but will make the hash be removed at package removal 
| without any magic being done in the postrm and will also help to keep 
| track about which package owns that file.
