Hi, Daniel,
Do you keep that file somewhere in your box? I wonder if you might have an
ancient file that was (wrongly) sourced by other elisp add-ons during
byte-compilation.

We first need to know whether this is a real bug or something related to a
specific problem in your box.
I have set a pbuilder wheezy chroot, and installed in it Emacs,
dictionaries-common and some wordlists/{aspell,hunspell,ispell} dicts,
aspell hunspell miscfiles wamerican wbritish wcanadian wcanadian-huge
wcanadian-insane wcanadian-large wcanadian-small wfrench aspell-en
iamerican ibritish ifrench aspell-fr hunspell-fr hunspell-en-us
hunspell-en-ca
I then changed wheezy to sid in /etc/apt/sources.list and dist-upgraded.
Some things appeared when unpacking

This is harmless and is a bug already fixed in emacsen-common (#736062).

As message says, this was properly worked around.
Apart from that everything was smooth in the upgrade, including
dictionaries-common stuff

For this reason I am tagging this bug report as unreproducible. I will keep
this bug report open for some time, in case someone else can reproduce it
and provide information. If not I will close it.
Thanks for the info
