You are 100% right.  The new Policy have been created originally to fix the
problem of using update-alternatives to set symlinks in /usr/lib/ispell and
to introduce a debconf-base configuration.  We also added lately support for
emacsen, jed and mutt, what is a big improvement, too. Aspell support will
probably have a completely different implementation.

I think that what we need now are just ideas about how to have integrated
aspell support (dictionary and application packages).  It would be great to
have some default choice based on locale.  To sum up, things are pretty open
right now (specially since the pspell project is dead).
