Before someone nails me for not R-ing TFM, I just dug around
a bit and found that

a) there's a separate package for debconf documentation
b) within that documentation, it says that there is no
program called 'debconf'
c) one needs to run dkpg-reconfigure
d) dpkg-reconfigure doesn't get installed with dpkg
e) dpkg-reconfigure exists in 

gkdebconf - Helper to reconfigure packages with Debconf

I'm glad this is so blindingly clear.

Still chugging away ...
