ispell and aspell use different dictionaries.  Changing the default
ispell program name from "ispell" to "aspell" is an incompatible
change for users configured Emacs to use ispell dictionaries,
not aspell dictionaries.  `ispell-program-name' can be changed
automatically to "aspell" only when `ispell-check-version' detects
aspell's implemention of ispell, i.e. a program for which `ispell -v'
returns:

@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.5)
