Ok, here is what i have now:
conffiles.d/:
sarge  woody

conffiles.d/sarge:
ispell.preinst  xfree86-kbd.preinst

conffiles.d/woody:
ispell.postinst  ktouch.postinst  locale.preinst    opera6.postinst    
xfree86-kbd.preinst kde2.postinst    links.postinst
ltsp-xfree86-kbd.?  timezone.postinst

I have also updated the update-locale-config script to take one more 
parameter {preinst/postinst} so that it can be called in two separate 
times, one at the start (runnint the preinst scripts) and one at the 
end running the postinst scripts.
It will read the /etc/debian_version and accordingly run the 
appropriate scripts from the correct directory.

In the meantime, since the current ispell configuration is 
debconf-based, I will make one extra script for sarge ispell.preinst.

Also, now that I think about it, there is a new infrastructure for 
dictionaries, dictionaries-common that configures the appropriate 
ispell dictionary from a list. So perhaps I should just pre-seed 
dictionaries-common instead?
