Sorry, I misunderstood your description! Reading it again, it might  
help then to add the line to 50dictionaries-common.el, quite early.  
Obviously this file does use some ispell function before everything's  
prepared. Another thing might need to be prepared, i.e. set: ispell- 
program-name. At some time its value was changed from ispell to  
aspell – could be this triggers the error. You can check that  
variable's value. And you can also check which dictionaries for  
aspell and ispell are available.

BTW, what is debian support doing? Obviously debian is the culprit  
making GNU Emacs load files that don't come with GNU Emacs.
