Hi, thanks for reporting, The problem here is that after original selection is removed, symlinks are going to be set to the new value, but at that time new selected package is not yet even unpacked, so is not possible. However, on pre-configuration everything is shown (even the to-be-removed value), because preconfiguration is done after all the old+new debconf templates files. I am thinking about a way to defer symlinks setting during package removal to new-to-be-installed package postinst when a new ispell dict or wordlist is to be installed in the same run. This should deal with this bug report, if working. In the meantime I am reassigning your bug report to dictionaries-common, where the mentioned changes should happen.
