in CVS emacs-ispell's lookup-words function is doing a grep on
/usr/dict/words.

On my very up to date debian (testing) machine I don't have a
/usr/dict/words file. I don't even have a words file. I seem to have
lots of hash files but no textual words file.

Is this a bug with debian or with emacs-ispell?

If you don't even have a /usr/share/dict/words file, then I'd say that 
Debian has evolved out from under emacs-ispell -- most systems I use 
still have such (although mostly under the just-mentioned path).

That seems a shame since lookup-words is used in ispell-complete.

I can't see anything in ispell that would allow for completion.

Try installing wamerican or wamerican-large (or wbritish etc.).
That's the package that provided /usr/share/dict/words on my Debian
unstable system.
