Yes, Debian is an evolving creature, debconf in particular.  At least
we're seeing a useful tool for configuration with multiple front-ends.
If you're seeing problems with a particular package, reconfigure debconf
itself to ask you those low priority and stupid questions:

    bash# dpkg-reconfigure debconf

You can reconfigure any package this way, so if you like your default
settings for debconf at a higher level (such as critical), then you can
configure all the low priority questions for "package" with:

    bash# dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low package
