Well, there is the Emacs superstructure and the Unix binary,
as you have discovered...

Nothing is consistent when it comes to Unix and Emacs anyway,
or not everything is, I should say.

As a side note I have it

ispell-program-name is a variable defined in ‘ispell.el’.
Its value is "ispell" Original value was "/bin/aspell"

so if it is strange it is by default.

I know, but curiously enough, can you give an example of such
a manual?

The only mention of Aspell is in 

16.4 Checking and Correcting Spelling
