Strange,

# dpkg-reconfigure -f readline dictionaries-common

Dictionaries-common: Ispell dictionary
--------------------------------------
Because more than one ispell dictionary will be available in your system,
please select the one you'd like applications to use by default.
You can change the default ispell dictionary at any time by running
"select-default-ispell".
1. american (American English) 2. Manual symlinks setting
Which ispell dictionary should be the system's default? 1
... other stuff ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
using dictionaries-common 0.30.1 (which has the same code for this as
sarge version 0.25.12) and iamerican 3.1.20.0-4 (the only ispell dict I have
installed in this test)
I suppose you will have the same problem running
# dpkg-reconfigure iamerican
If so, please run
# DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg-reconfigure -f readline iamerican
and send me the output. The reason to do this with only iamerican is to
get rid of wordlists output, so if that does not reproduce your problem,
send me the output of
# DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg-reconfigure -f readline dictionaries-common
In the box I am using I have in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
--------------------------------------------
Name: dictionaries-common/default-ispell
Template: dictionaries-common/default-ispell
Value: Manual symlinks setting
Owners: dictionaries-common
Flags: seen
Variables:
choices = american (American English)
--------------------------------------------
and the config value returned by debconf is
debconf: <-- METAGET dictionaries-common/default-ispell choices
debconf: --> 0 american (American English), Manual symlinks setting
because the choices string in the template is
${choices}, Manual symlinks setting
Last element is then stripped to get the real choices list.
Seems as if your system is returning something different after
metaget("dictionaries-common/default-ispell","choices") call. For that
reason I really need to have the DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer ... stuff.

This seems to suggests that your iamerican/languages Default entry in
/var/cache/debconf/templates.dat is not void, what is O.K, but does not give
any light on the problem.
I am waiting for the DEBUG output. Thanks for your feedback
