Hi, Paul, thanks for the info.
This check should already be done in 1.20.5 preinst (indirectly
through checking for the installed stamp, as created by
dh_installemacsen)
----------------------------------------------------------
# Automatically added by dh_installemacsen
if ( [ "$1" = "install" ] || [ "$1" = "upgrade" ] ) \
&& [ -e /var/lib/emacsen-common/state/package/installed/emacsen-common ]
then
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install --preinst
dictionaries-common
fi
# End automatically added section
----------------------------------------------------------
Previously used manual snippets instead or relying in those
automatically created by dh_installemacsen, with nothing in preinst.

I need to know more about your system, tried to reproduce the problem
in a sid pbuilder chroot, initially without none of
dictionaries-common or emacsen-common, no bug found
Installing dictionaries-commmon:
Preparing to unpack .../dictionaries-common_1.20.5_all.deb ...
Adding 'diversion of /usr/share/dict/words to
/usr/share/dict/words.pre-dictionaries-common by dictionaries-common'
Unpacking dictionaries-common (1.20.5) ...
Setting up dictionaries-common (1.20.5) ...
Processing triggers for dictionaries-common (1.20.5) ...
Is some emacsen-common reminiscence there, something like
/var/lib/emacsen-common/state/package/installed/emacsen-common
