$ aptitude show ibritish-insane|grep State

That is exactly where I first went.  But since getting no sense here
(until Chris' email) I have made more progress...

 On closer examination the links have been set properly:
/usr/share/dict/words -> /etc/dictionaries-common/words and
/etc/dictionaries-common/words -> /usr/share/dict/british-english-insane

Some english spellings are correctly recognised, some not.

For the list:

colour
organisation
labour
recognised

"colour" and "labour" are "recognised" but not "organisation" or
"recognised".

Those unrecognised words are in the word list:
/usr/share/dict/british-english-insane
