Thanks for the debugging. As expected, the problem was a basic misunderstanding at my side about how triggers work >>> Maybe the compat file creation should be moved to preinst?

The call from dictionaries-common postinst is only to deal with possible changes in jed/emacs/squirrelmail handling of options, no need to set symlinks there. There is currently an unused --ignore-symlinks option to update-default-*. That was initially designed for removal scripts and there is now a better system, but the concept may be of help here, although renamed and improved. I am thinking about calling update-default-* from dictionaries-common.postinst with something like update-default-ispell --dico-postinst resulting in a real run, not enabling trigger and skipping symlinks step. autobuildhash step could also be skipped, although it is harmless. So, triggers are enabled only from dictionaries or ispell (this last enables only ispell-autobuildhash). Last week I was doing some changes in that script, so is probably time to integrate everything. But I do not have changes here. Hope to have everything put together on Monday.
