I also don't remember (dictionaries-common is some years old now and
still not merged into Debian...).  I think that the problem was, that
there was no or only a quite old version of flyspell.el in some the
emacs19/emacs20/xemacs20 packages (same problem as with ispell.el,
which we also ship in dictionaries-common).

In the good old times flyspell.el was changing fast, which resulted in
outdated versions of it in most emacsen packages.  So it was a good
idea to ship this with dictionaries-common.  If all emacsen packages
come with a recent version of flyspell.el now, we can remove this from
dicitionaries-common.

Tschoeeee
