I think I have a reasonably robust model for this, I have put packages for
testing under

  http://dict-common.alioth.debian.org/experimental

(changes file signed in the sources subdir). I will play with it a
bit more before uploading, but seems to be working pretty well.

A sumary of the changes:

  * debian/dictionaries-common.templates:
    - Declare itself as an ispell dictionary and wordlist with a manual
      value, so a manual option is added to the debconf selection menu.
  * scripts/system/{update,remove}-default.in:
    - Behavior adjusted when debconf selection is ~manual~ to not try
      setting symlinks.
  * debian/dictionaries-common.config-base:
    - Make sure shared question is prompted if ~manual~ is not yet one of
      the options.

I named the entry ~manual~ ... so is always sorted last in the menu.

Suggestions are welcome.

Cheers,
